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.
