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.
