The court heard on Friday last week at around 10pm, the four, together with two others that are still to be identified, were on a drinking spree at Mverechena Night Club along with other patrons.

While drinking, the court heard, the six became rowdy and stripped, remaining with their undergarments only.

Their actions, however, reportedly incensed other patrons, who then alerted the police, leading to their arrest.

The court also heard that when the police arrived at the scene, they could not locate the six hookers, hence they ordered the owner of the club to close.

But later, the officers returned and managed to identify the four using pictures that had been taken by patrons.
