Prince Ken Emeakayi, Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Homeland Security, has directed all hotel operators in Anambra State to collect government-issued identification from guests and submit photocopies to local authorities.
Non-compliance will result in business closures and legal action.
While officials say the law enhances security, hotel operators express concern, citing potential loss of business as guests may resist sharing personal details.
One hotel owner warned the policy could drive customers to neighboring Asaba, further straining the hospitality industry.
The government insists the measure is vital for public safety.
