COMMERCIAL sex workers in some parts of  Kano State are now lamenting over low patronage, saying that they may be forced to relocate, because the ongoing Ramadan has further worsened their business activities.

It was observed through a survey conducted by the Nigerian Tribune in some areas where business was really good for the commercial sex workers like, Enugu, Abbedie, Sanigiwa, Aba, Sanya Olu and Onitsha roads in Sabo Gari, since the commencement of the Ramadan, that many commercial sex workers were seen, but there was no customer, unlike before the commencement of the Ramadan. All the above areas and other places like Club road, Airport road, which used to be behives of activities.

Most of the sex workers, when interviewed, attributed the low patronnage to the 30-day fasting by the Muslims.

According to a lady, who simply identified herself as Gladys, “my brother, I can’t continue like this. If this continues, I will not mind relocating to another place where my business would flourish.”

While another woman, who identified herself as Eniola said it was saddening that the fasting period had driven away those Alhajis that used to patronise her.

Hajiya Bintu, who said she was from Maiduguri, stated that “because of the prevailing security challenges in Maiduguri, I decided to move to Kano,because our normal business was no longer easy to operate, but look what we are facing, the fasting period has already put snarl to our business and is no more normal patronage.”
