8 Women Imprisoned for Prostitution in Abuja

8 women were sentenced to six months imprisonment each for prostitution on the 4th of November by a Zuba Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja.

Joy Ayo, Vivian Agubuzor, Felicia Dominic, Ifeoma Patrick, Comfort Jacob, Tina Osagie, Mercy John and Gift Obi were those sentenced.

The accused persons were sentenced by the judge, Mallam Alhassan Kusherki, 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.

Momoh Ibrahim, prosecutor, had told the court that the offence contravened Section 405 (Paragraph 1(b)) of the Penal Code.
