Nude party: ‘I lost my pregnancy after Kaduna govt illegally demolished my restaurant’
Chief Executive Officer of Asher Kings and Queens Restaurant in Kaduna State, Aisha Mercy Yakubu, has denied plans to hold a sex party, threatening to seek redress over the demolition of her restaurant.
In a press statement on Saturday, Yakubu said the demolished facility was neither a hotel nor guest house as claimed by the Police and Kaduna State Government.
Apart from losing one-month pregnancy, she claimed that cooking utensils, chillers, deep freezers, outdoor catering utensils, and cash, estimated to worth N32 million, were lost to the demolition exercise.
According to her, she was wrongly detained and later released after one of the organisers of the party clarified that her restaurant was not to be used.
The PUNCH reports that the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority had last week demolished the restaurant over alleged plans to host a sex party.
The party, which received high publicity on social media and slated for December 27, 2020, at an undisclosed venue, was, however, aborted.
Among the requirements on the invite obtained by our correspondent was that males and females were expected to be naked.
One of the party organisers paraded by the police later said it was meant to be “a mere party among friends.”
Efforts to reach the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Jalige, on claims made by the demolished restaurant’s owner proved abortive as of the time of filing this report.
The statement read in part, “Whilst the ground floor is where the kitchen and serving spot is, also with chairs and tables for customers to sit and eat their food as required.
”We hire/rent the VIP section for light events, of not more than 26 customers.
”On the 27th December, 2020, a customer hired the VIP Lounge for a 15-man reunion/clothing line promo, to appreciate his customers for their good patronage of his brands.
”Before the event proper commenced, a friend of mine and I noticed an unusual movement around the main gate to the restaurant, as it was half opened to avoid a crowded environment.
”We approached the main gate and on getting there I saw two truckload of heavily armed officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
”I asked the team leader what was going on but he ignored my question and said he will explain to me when we get to the Police Station, Sabon Tasha Division.
”When we arrived the Police station, my customer, who accompanied me to the station, enquired what the matter was and the Police showed us a poster on a GSM phone belonging to one of the officers by name Inspector Felix.
”It was a poster of an event titled; KADUNA SEX PARTY, which the Police claimed the venue for the supposed “sex party” was scheduled to hold at my restaurant, even though with no address of where it will take place on the poster.
