He said 92 suspects including commercial sex workers were apprehended for immoral acts during the raids.
“The suspects were apprehended for immoral acts including gambling, prostitution of organising dance party during wedding ceremonies among others.
“The board was also able to close down brothels across the state within the period under review,” he said.
