The Joy News exposé on the explosion of Strip Tease or naked dancing in Accra’s Nite clubs remains a subject of disagreement amongst some legal brains in the country.(Read article at Entertainment News).
A Joy News team reported on Wednesday that selected Nite clubs in Accra used nude girls as their latest attraction for boosting clientele.
The team’s investigations in three prominent Nite clubs revealed that whiles some of the dancers were scantly clad, others danced totally naked, raising concerns about indecent exposure.
On Thursday lawyer Kwame Akuffo told Joy News that naked dancing didn’t constitute a breach of the law.
He said night clubs were not public places, therefore activities there were exclusive to patrons and did not breach any public order provisions.
He explained that it would be inexplicable for any patron of a Nite club to express shock at the nudity and sexual acts that went on there since patrons had foreknowledge of what to expect.
However other lawyers have disagreed with him. One such lawyer who called into Joy News studios, Abena Manful argued that night clubs were public places and Strip Tease constituted a misdemeanor.
