Delta State Declares ₦50,000 Fine for Indecent Dressing Under VAPP Law

The Delta State Police Command has issued a public warning regarding indecent dressing, stating that violators now face a fine of up to ₦50,000. This development stems from the enforcement of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Law, which was domesticated in the state in 2020.

According to the police, anyone found guilty of deliberately exposing their private parts in public will be penalized under Section 29 of the VAPP Act. The punishment includes either a monetary fine of ₦50,000, community service, or both. This announcement was made via the police’s official X (formerly Twitter) page, as part of their ongoing efforts to sensitize the public on existing but often overlooked laws.

The command emphasized that the law specifically targets acts of intentional exposure of genitalia or other private parts in public spaces, often with the intent to provoke, harass, or offend others. It is important to note that the law does not criminalize hairstyles, wearing miniskirts, or other forms of fashion choices, as has been previously misinterpreted by the public.

The statement, which was made in both English and Pidgin, aimed at reaching a broad audience across the state. It cautioned residents to be mindful of their public appearance and to respect societal norms and legal provisions. “As you no like wear cloth wey dey cover your body well... Delta state government nor dey smile for that kain dressing,” the post read.

This enforcement marks a renewed commitment by authorities to uphold moral standards and public decency in Delta State. However, it has also sparked discussions on the balance between personal freedom and societal norms. While some support the move, others argue it may lead to subjective enforcement or victimization.

For now, residents are advised to take heed and dress responsibly.
