Outraged ensued in Yola, Adamawa state capital with parents and other civil society groups calling the state government and police to stop the‘’ Yola Beach Party’’ organized by some youths, for alleged nudity.
This is the second term the event has been organized in Yola, the state capital.
The advertisement of ‘Yola Beach Party’ this Saturday indicates that the event is slated for Sunday 3rd January, 2021, while gate fee was pegged at N2000.
‘’Age 18 over, scheduled to start at 2pm and there will be live music, fun, BBQ and drinks,’’ it stated.
The notice was placed on social media platforms, though the venue was not indicated.
Reacting to the planned Yola Beach Party, some parents had asked the state government to swiftly stop the event, alleging that ‘’ the boys are hell-bent in promoting nudity.’’
Baba Musa, a resident of Jimeta, warns that allowing the party to hold will incur the wrath of God.
‘’ We need to wake up and face this looming challenge of moral decadence now plaguing our society.
‘’ It’s the same way some deviant youths wanted to hold sex party in Kaduna, though the state government had acted swiftly by demolition the alleged venue of the event.
‘’So, here in Adamawa our children are now planning to hold same sex-party in different styles and formats.
‘’ We should fight against this immorality; we are cultured. Let the government and police do the needful by banning the event.
‘’ In fact, allowing the party to hold will incur the wrath of Almighty Allah and God forbid!’’ Musa angered.
Another resident and father of four, Al-Amin Ciroma said that the current merciless bloodletting through banditry, kidnappings, armed robbery, and host of other vices, experienced in Nigeria are caused by immoral acts like the ‘Satanic’ beach party.
“Allah (SWT) stated categorically in Suratul Hajj verse 41, thus: “Those who, when We empower them in the land, observe prayer, and give regular charity, and command what is right, and forbid what is wrong. To Allah belongs the outcome of events.
“No doubt this kind of illicit act is one of the ingredients that is fueling the wrath of Allah (SWT) that we are inflicted with currently.
“The current merciless bloodletting through banditry, kidnappings, armed robbery, and host of other vices, is as a result of our derailment from ideal moral and cultural values,’’ said Ciroma.
Also corroborating, Mr. Joel David Batta said regrets that cultural invasion had negatively impacted on youths.
‘’ Some of these things that they bring to us are alien, so any decent and cultured parent must stand against the so-called beach party.
‘’ We saw the unfortunate fights that ensued at the state recreation centres in Yola and Jimeta, during last Christmas and Sallah celebrations.
‘’ Some youths were alleged to have engaged in raping and maiming during such events. So, what do you expect tomorrow if the beach party is to hold?
‘’ We are calling on the government to scan for such places where illicit acts are perpetrated in the state,’’ David Batta urges.
In the meantime, efforts to draw words out of the organizers of the event proved abortive as the phone numbers put on the flayers issued were switched-off.
But when contacted the police spokesman in the state DSP Suleiman Yahya Nguroje said the state police command was not officially informed and is now investigating and will not allow any show or event that will cause outrage.
‘’ The CP had since ordered an investigation to unravel the sponsors and venue of the said beach party. The command will not allow any immoral act that could cause outrage in society.
‘’ Parents also have a role to play in this regard,’’ Nguroje said.
This is coming barely three days after the demolition of the supposed venue of a planned “sex party” in Kaduna State by the Governor Nasir El-Rufai-led government.
The Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KASUPDA) confirmed the demolition of Asher Hotel located in Barnawa, Kaduna South Local Government Area, on Thursday over the planned sex party.
