According to boxing promoter, Martins Osaile,
the Lagos National Stadium’s facilities have degenerated tremendously
due to lack of maintenance. He alleges that the stadium is now a home
for prostitutes.
“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 (government 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,” he told Punch.
Built in 1972, The National Stadium, Lagos was was once a world-class venue, hosting several international
competitions.
