EXPOSED! Liverpool ‘Under Bridge’; Apapa: Den Of Prostitution, Drug Abuse, Robbery—Investigation

Investigations carried out by Shipping Position Daily correspondents over the past two weeks have revealed that the space underneath the popular Liverpool bridge in Apapa which used to be for food vendors and also serves as a market, has become a haven for prostitutes, drug peddlers and petty robbers who randomly pick their victims on daily basis.

Our reporters who carried out the undercover investigations confirmed that the Liverpool under bridge ‘red zone’ now houses more prostitutes than traders. In addition, there is open display and consumption of banned drugs and several unregistered alcoholic herbal mixtures.

Our correspondent noted that the Liverpool under bridge has now become a preferred choice for truck drivers, clearing agents, okada riders, and military personnel, who are desirous of cheap pleasure.

It is common to see military men and Police personnel among those who are openly drinking and playing with the prostitutes.

During the first week of our reporters’ visit, some of the prostitutes were seen openly smoking and drinking alcohol with their ‘customers’ as they laughed and gave eye signals to those who sat directly opposite them.

During our visits which spanned about two weeks, various uniformed personnel were sighted, either smoking Indian hemps, purchasing banned drugs or patronizing prostitutes.

In one of the days our correspondent visited, two ladies who sat directly beside each other invited our correspondent to come sit with them and relax as they gave a warm and receptive smile.

The following day, when our correspondent revisited, one of the girls who are in the early 20s asked our correspondent to buy her a bottle of canned beer. In return, she opened up on life and living under the Liverpool bridge.

Taking our correspondent for a ‘customer’, she asked: “Do you lodge around here, or you be motor boy”, to which our correspondent responded that he was a clearing agent working for a boss who is presently out of town.

She further asked, if our correspondent was there just for the drink or for further pleasure later in the night, our reporter responded that he was for both. She then gave a breakdown of hotels around the vicinity and how much they charge per night.

When our correspondent further probed her on how she got to know the rates of the hotels, she said in pidgin English and referring to clearing agents: “No be your people they carry us there, but you people are stingy unlike truck drivers, those ones they do normal, you people don’t like to pay better money”.

Asked how much she will charge per night, our correspondent gathered that some prostitutes charge as much as N25,000 for one night, depending on the bargaining power of their customer.

Our correspondent also confirmed from another source under the Liverpool bridge that the frequent attack on motorists and others on the bridge and around the Tin Can 2nd gate axis is perpetuated by street urchins from under the bridge.

This was further corroborated by one of the prostitutes who had now become friendly with our correspondent.

The prostitute even warned our correspondent not to come back late in the night because of robbery. She told our correspondent not to come too late, stating that some of the boys drinking and smoking under the bridge always rob unsuspecting members of the public of their valuables on top the bridge late in the night.

She said, “If you will come back, please don’t come very late, some of these boys when it’s around 9pm, are always on the bridge, they will ‘pick pocket’ you before you know it, some will even hijack your phone and flee. So please come on time before I will follow another person”.

On why drugs and Indian hemp are taken openly under the bridge with no fear of being arrested, our informant laughed and asked if it is not those who would arrest that are also under the bridge indulging in the same crime.

She added jokingly, “this place is like Fela shrine, they don’t arrest people in Fela shrine for smoking weed, even Police and Soldier come here, so who will arrest us”.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
