DSTG Seals Agbor Bolero Hotel Over Underage Prostitution, Drugs

The Delta State Government (DSTG) has sealed Bolero Hotel and Nightclub in Agbor following allegations that the premises were being used for underage prostitution and the consumption and distribution of illicit drugs.

The closure followed an order by the Delta State High Court, Agbor Judicial Division, Ika South LGA, on February 10, 2026. Court records show that Orewa Ekene, trading as Bolero Concepts, was arraigned on a six-count charge bordering on trafficking in persons, contrary to Section 17(c) of the Delta State Human Trafficking (Prohibition) Law, 2024. (Charge No. AG/1C/2026: Delta State v. Orewa Ekene)

The defendant pleaded not guilty and was remanded at the Agbor Custodial Centre. The court adjourned the matter to March 3, 2026, for hearing.

During proceedings, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice requested that the Bolero Hotel and Nightclub be frozen and sealed, citing its involvement in criminal activities involving minors and illicit drugs. In a ruling on February 11, 2026, the court granted the order pending further hearings.

This action follows a similar move in December 2025, when the Happy Home Children Orphanage in Okwe was sealed over child trafficking-related offences. The DSTG says these measures are part of its ongoing campaign against human trafficking, underage prostitution, and drug-related crimes across the state.
