A Zuba
Grade 1 Area Court in the FCT, yesterday, sentenced eight women to six months
imprisonment each for prostitution.
Those
sentenced were Felicia Dominic, Vivian Agubuzor, Ifeoma Patrick, Comfort Jacob,
Gift Obi, Tina Osagie, Mercy John and Joy Ayo, 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.
