A woman in Anambra State has reportedly been arrested by the Nigerian Police Force for stepping out in public without a bra, sparking widespread debate on social media.
A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) claims that the arrest occurred amid unconfirmed reports that the Anambra State government had introduced a directive targeting women who appear in public braless.
A circulating video shows the woman dressed in a gown, seated in the back of a police vehicle, while officers patrol the area, allegedly looking for more violators.
The incident has ignited conversations online, with many questioning the legality and morality of such an arrest. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the situation.
