Boxing promoter, Martins Osaile, has said most Nigerians
stadiums across the country has been abandoned by the government and making
them a shadow of themselves. He emphasized that the National stadium, sadly has
turned into a prostitute den. According to him, someone built rooms all around
the place making prostitutes to patronise the place and using it for their
business, he told
Punch.
“The National
Stadium, Lagos has been turned to a brothel. Someone there built rooms all
around the place and it is prostitutes patronising the place.
“They (officials) know about what is going on but they don’t
care because they hire the place to people. All the under of the steps (of the
main bowl) have been converted to small rooms, where they practice
prostitution.” Continue after the cut.
“The situation was the same across most stadiums in the
country, except for the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna, he said’’.
“I have never seen where facilities have been so abandoned.
The Liberty Stadium (Ibadan) is dead. They said Enugu stadium is under concession
but where are the concession papers? Only the Ahmadu Bello Stadium is a bit
neat and this is because of the Vice President, Namadi Sambo, who loves sports
and comes from the state,” he concluded.
