The Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority(KASUPDA) has demolished a hotel billed to host a sex party in the city, citing a violation of COVID-19 protocols.

“KASUPDA have demolished Asher Hotel in Barnawa Kaduna South. Asher Hotel was the proposed venue for the Kaduna Sex Party, the hotel was also caught contravening the Covid-19 guidelines of the state,” the agency tweeted on its official handle on Thursday evening.

The agency which also posted photos of the demolition exercise vowed that it “will not hesitate to demolish properties used for such [an] immoral act.”

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the agency, Nuhu Garba told newsmen that the building which is located at Sabon Tasha a suburb of Kaduna metropolis was demolished in the afternoon.

He said the demolition was carried out based on the laws guiding the agency.

“The law has vested the agency the power to demolish any building that contravenes the rights of occupancy.

“For instance, if a residential building is turned into something other than the purpose it was meant, the law gave us power to demolish such property especially if it’s against public interest.”

Garba also said, “we were in Narayi (another suburb) too to carry out similar assignment. We are currently demolishing another building that promotes illicit acts.”

The demolition comes barely 24 hours after those behind the sex party were arrested.

A source who pleaded for anonymity revealed that many arrests were made between Wednesday and Thursday.

‘It was a joke”

Meanwhile, one of suspect who was paraded by police in Kaduna on Thursday said, the said Sex Party was not organised to cause nuisance in Kaduna State, as it was not supposed to go public, but a mere party among friends.

According to the suspect, “Kaduna’ Sex Party started as a joke between me and my friends, it was not meant to go public, it was not meant to cause nuisance among the public of Kaduna State. It was just someone that felt that she was too brilliant that posted it on Twitter.

“I never posted the party invite on Twitter. Yes, I initiated it, yes, it started as a joke, I keep saying it, it was not meant to disturb the peace and security of Kaduna.

“The whole thing was a joke. A friend made the flier that was posted on Twitter and put my number on it and we all laughed over it, but somebody sent to someone and to another person like that, until it got to Twitter.”

Asked about his name, the suspect became furious and said, “don’t ask for my name please. I don’t know what else you want me to say, I said it was a joke.”
