POLICE witnesses on Monday told the Gabasawa Chief Magistrate Court on Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Kaduna, that there was no sex party on December 27, 2020 at the Asher Restaurant and Lounge.
This was during cross-examination at the resumed hearing of the case involving the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna State, Abraham Alberah, and four others, for allegedly organising an aborted sex party in state.
The PUNCH reported that the state government had arraigned the PDP’s spokesman and four others to court for an alleged attempted adultery and organising a nude party in breach of the COVID-19 protocol.

FOR obvious reasons, the demolition of a facility called Asher Kings and Queens Restaurant and Lounge located at Sabon Tasha in Kaduna, Kaduna State by the state government on December 31, 2020 has refused to leave the radar of public commentary. The state government demolished the facility on the heels of a widely condemned poster which appeared on social media inviting attendees to a “Kaduna Sex Party.” A statement issued on January 1 by the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency (KASUPDA) on behalf of the state government said that it demolished the structure because it was billed to host the alleged party. It said: “KASUPDA has 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. KASUPDA will not hesitate to demolish properties used for such immoral acts.”

On New Yearâs Eve, which was on Thursday, December 31, 2020, the Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, gave an order for the immediate demolition of a restaurant that was falsely alleged to be the venue of a prank Kaduna Sex Party. This was contained in a tweet by the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency.
After public outcry, the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency, which released the statement, made a U-turn and said that though they had initially claimed that the building was demolished, without notice, for being the venue of an alleged sex party that never held, that was no longer their stance.
