Police Jail 8 Abuja "Runs Girls" For Prostitution

Abuja— 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.
