Renowned human rights activist and former senator, Shehu Sani, has sparked debate with a satirical remark about Anambra State’s controversial “Bra and Pant” law. Taking to his official X handle, Sani quipped, “I don’t know if the Pant law is applicable to men… and how can the security outfit verify ladies’ compliance?”
His comment comes amid growing public scrutiny over the reported enforcement of undergarment regulations in the state. While details of the law remain unclear, concerns have been raised about its potential infringement on personal freedoms and the practicality of its implementation.
Sani, known for his sharp wit and fearless criticism of policies he deems excessive, has once again put the spotlight on what many see as an overreach of government authority. His rhetorical question about enforcement has further fueled discussions on the ethical and legal implications of such a regulation.
As reactions continue to pour in, citizens and legal experts alike are calling for clarity on the law’s intent and its enforcement mechanism, questioning whether the state government is prioritizing the right issues in governance.
With Shehu Sani’s remark reigniting the conversation, the debate over personal freedoms versus regulatory policies in Nigeria takes center stage once more.
