A Zuba Grade 1 Area Court in the FCT, yesterday, sentenced eight women
to six months imprisonment each for prostitution. Those sentenced were
(names removed by me), of no fixed address in Zuba.
The judge, Mallam Alhassan Kusherki, sentenced the accused persons after
they pleaded guilty to the one-count charge of soliciting men for the
purpose of prostitution. Kusherki, however, gave the convicts an option
of N20,000 fine each.
Prosecutor, Momoh Ibrahim, had told the court that the offence contravened Section 405 (Paragraph 1(b)) of the Penal Code.
