Edo State government on Thursday, 22 May, 2025 said it has uncovered a brothel inside a primary school in Esan West Local Government Area of the state.
The government said it has also sealed the brothel.
The development was disclosed at a press briefing in Benin City by State Coordinator for the Protection of Government Property (PGP), Eugene Okolosie.
Okolosie also disclosed that over 2,000 plots of land encroached upon have also been recovered from land grabbers in the state.
According to him, over 150,000 houses in the state were built on government lands.
“The community came to inform us that land grabbers forged their signatures and we moved into action and recovered about 90 per cent of the land back, including lands belonging to schools.
“For example in Ujuele Primary School, they built a brothel inside the school and we have sealed the brothel and some of these properties will be converted and we are presently discussing with the governor on the matter,” Okolosie said.
