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.
