Apapa is a Lagos suburb, it’s
the home of Nigeria’s two seaports, Apapa Wharf and Tin-Can Island ports respectively. Unarguably, Apapa is the economic hub of the
nation’s economy.
With this high volumes of economic activities such as import and
export as well as other economic activities
in this place, its attracted large number of people from all walks of
life. People from different races, nationalities and ethnicities engage in all
kinds of economic activities ranging from clearing and forwarding of goods,
buying and selling of different kinds of imported goods, among others, on a
daily basis.
Fastforward, just like other cities in other countries of the world where seaports are located, there are also the good, the bad and the ugly. Seamen, men and women who do businesses in these seaports and environs, naturally, would want to relax their nerves after a hectic day’s business. And the natural places to go for such relaxation are where women of easy virtues exchange sex for money in clubs, brothels,especially those clubs where women dance half-naked.
This is how Apapa earned a place in the league of red light street cities beat Ojuelegba’s 42 Avenue, Ikeja cum Allen, and Festac town to background. As from 8:00pm, it will automatically change from business city and turned to ‘Sodom and Gomorrah.’
When Saturday Sun reporters visited such places as Domino’s Pizza on Wharf road and the surrounding streets as well as Bakery Crescent, a lot of activities had started as early as 7:00pm. A journey inside most of the adjoining streets, off Wharf roads, would bring one face to face with a handful of brothels with women of all shapes and sizes displaying their arsenals to willing customers. While some are so matured that they would rather employ non-verbal cues such as eye movements, tongue twisting, wriggling of various Ghana-made buttocks, display of extra-large boobs as well as twisting of thighs to leave one in wild imagination of what could lie between such thighs; others go for what they want directly without beating about the bush. They would beckon at the men, whom they suspect were there to patronize them. Such rabid invitation was equally extended copiously to our male reporter, who was merely rambling on the street to observe them in their natural habitat.
Besides, there were groups of men at different points engaged in one activity or the other, some were gambling with ‘Ludo’or ‘Whort.’ others were smoking all kinds of marijuana and Indian hemp at the same time drank local made gin (Ogogoro). Few others held on to bottles of beer, probably, waiting for darkness to completely envelope the day before they would join the fray.
On hand to service both the ladies and their customers were drug sellers, who displayed their wares on wheel barrows. They have various aphrodisiacs, which both men and women consume before embarking on sex escapades. Such strong aphrodisiacs as Viagra are carelessly seen on display.and condoms of assorted kinds.Dont forget that there would always be petty robbers and pick-pockets in such environment.
According to a resident on Bakery Street, who simply gave his name as John, the peace of the neighborhood is always under threat following the activities of sex workers and their patrons. He cited a fresh case to drive home his point. He said: “Some cases like that are common and cannot be wished away. For instance, there was this incident involving one lady called Ada and her customer, also called Seun. It was Ada’s loud cry that abruptly woke us up from sleep. At first, we thought that armed robbers had invaded the building. We were fidgeting and panting so much that we almost wetted our panties.
“Our hearts were still palpitating when we heard a screaming voice of a female saying, ‘Pay me my money. I say, pay me my money. You f*ck me and now you no wan pay. Shebi, you wan kill me; Oya kill me now.”
Continuing, John said: “But, Seun did not fret over the display of such madness as he seemed to have been used to it. In a voice filled with anger, he shouted at the lady saying, ‘I go just kill you here and nothing go happen. I go beat you again. Oya, leave my shorts.”
It was at this point, according to John that he signaled to his family members to crawl out of their hiding places, since it was not armed robbers as they had thought. “The incident,” he said: “happened around 2:00am.” He also said that when they eventually went outside, they were surprised to discover that the lady in question was totally naked and still insisting that her full entitlements must be paid.
John added, “When we went outside, we saw the girl stark naked. She was pretty, fair complexioned and tall with her boobs succulently standing firm. She had a clean shave. Even as we all stared at her in shock, she didn’t bat an eye-lid, instead she held tightly to the man. The man wore a pair of boxers.”
Investigation revealed that such occurrences are commonplace in the area. Most of the girls, our reporters gathered, converge on the area from different parts of Lagos, especially from Ajegunle, Orile, Ijora Badia, Ebute-Meta, Oshodi and Festac among other places.
A road-side food vendor, simply identified as Mama Bukky also said: “We hear gory and shameful tales of sex scandals around this place often. For me, once I finish selling my food, I go but we still get to hear what goes around in our absence somehow. For instance, there was a story of one man last week. His name is Kayode. He is married with kids somewhere in Abeokuta, but works in Lagos while his family stays in Abeokuta. He was said to have felt horny that fateful night and he decided to go for a call girl. He went to a brothel close to our area and got the lady.
“According to the lady, the man went several rounds with her, including asking for a blowjob and doggie style, which she gladly offered. But, when it was time to pay, the man refused to honour the gentleman’s agreement. She was naturally furious and she refused to leave without collecting her money. So, she started making noise and in order to shut her up, Kayode attempted to throw her down from the second floor where he lives. This was after he had beaten her silly. But, she was saved by the high pitch of her voice as people rushed to her rescue. The lady said the deal was sealed at N2, 000, but the man refused to pay”
The illustrations above are just a tip of the iceberg. However, the lady’s encounter with Kayode is just one out of many instances, where the girls are thrown into the water or killed and dumped by the road side without any trace of the perpetrators.
