The Delta State Police Command has issued a firm warning to residents, stating that indecent dressing will be met with penalties under the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Law of the state.
In a post shared on its official X handle on Saturday, the command announced that offenders could face a N50,000 fine or community service, depending on the severity of the offence.
The message, written partly in Pidgin English, reads:
“As you no like wear cloth wey dey cover your body well, and you prefer dey waka go work, school, or anywhere with clothes wey dey show everywhere for your body, make you hear am – Delta state government nor dey smile for that kain dressing. VAAP law don ready to punish anybody wey no dress well.”
The police also noted this as part of a broader awareness campaign aimed at enlightening the public on lesser-known laws in the state, promising to share more legal insights every weekend.
