A security group in Anambra State has sparked controversy after reportedly declaring that women seen in public without bras or panties will be arrested.
The announcement, made through a public address system, was captured in a viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
In the footage, an official of the security outfit, speaking in Igbo, claimed that the directive was issued by the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. He further stated that women wearing only panties in public would also be subject to arrest.
However, the Anambra State government has yet to issue an official statement confirming or refuting the claim.

Reacting to the development, former Kaduna State Senator Shehu Sani took to X on Monday to question the feasibility of enforcing such a rule. He also wondered whether the so-called “underwear law” would apply to men.
“Anambra’s bra and pant law. I don’t know if the pant law is applicable to men… and how can the security outfit verify ladies’ compliance?” he wrote.
The announcement has since triggered mixed reactions across social media, with many questioning the legality and practicality of such an enforcement.
