Nigerian Governor Orders Shutdown of Nightclubs in his State gives reasons
Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has ordered the immediate closure of all nightclubs, also known as ‘Gala Houses’, in Gombe state.
In a statement issued on Monday, August 28, by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi, security agencies were directed to ensure strict compliance with the order.
