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

- Uche Chimadaada Did Nigerian Constitution legalise bad leadership in the country? Did u gv dem somfn doing and dey reject? Have u called dem and said to dem; pls Ashawo is not good? My friend, that's nonsensical nonsense.
- Uche Chimadaada They could not jail and hang the bokoharam leader but they could jail those ladies cos of bad leadership in d country. Why won't be Ashawo when every leader is only concern for his or her pocket.
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa @Uche, y are u encouraging bad tin, u dat's saying dis and dat, who giv u work to do, am sorry to say, will u like any of ur relation to be like dem?
- Polycarpz Igboon Why inprisoned self-employed gals, at the spate of high rate of unemployment in the country? The court should freed them or else........... Mr Blogger better tell them oooo
- Nwigwe Chinweikpe To all those commentin rubbish, is unemployment an excuse or reason 4 one to commit crime or prostitute? unpatrotic Nigerians.
- Hyginus Ejiofor In a descent country, not ours, they will be sent to rehabilitation homes and not to be commuted to prison. After all, our shameless politicians will hire them in the dark from our corrupt warders for night outing affairs.' Robbing Peter to pay Paul'
- Teajarnie Shakur Hadebayour Imagine.....d turn us to olosho n yahoo bois no job...nau dem dey jail dem....y 'em no jail dos dah embelzzle money
- Polycarpz Igboon @Nwigwe, can you mention any country where prostitution is not been practice in the whole world? Even in Bible time there were prostitute every where, so wat are we saying here?
- Teajarnie Shakur Hadebayour D oldest trade is the world is prostitution it is has old as man itself .......
- Uche Chimadaada Nwigwe, have u lost the sense of decency? What are u even saying? As far as am concern, you makes no sense. Patrotic nigerian you are indeed! Onye akuko!
- Uche Chimadaada Muhammad, you might be right and wrong for asking me "why am I supportn bad thing"? And the answer lies within.
- Nwigwe Chinweikpe So as prostitution is practiced in evry country & is the oldest trade or whtever so it should b legalized and even make it as a career in the school so that young girls can venture into it, is it wht you guys are sayin?
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa @Uche, den tell me were am right and were am wrong, so dat we will clear everything
- Nwigwe Chinweikpe One thing is jst that Nigeria is a country wia thiefs call other thieves criminal, they condemn others y they themselves are dirty.
- Polycarpz Igboon If you have ever been to Abuja, go there and see what your so call senators are doing with this self-employed gals you are callin them prostitute you wont believe your eyes.
- Uche Chimadaada Accept what, sir? That Ashawo must be arrested, prosecuted and jailed? I can't support such law provided you give them nothing doing.
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa Ashawo is not legalise here, den dey most be prosecuted and jailed, and are dey d only one's dat are witout are job?
- Uche Chimadaada ......and you think it is that soo easy to engage in such act? It call for hard mind!
- Olufemi Adekunle Rotty Is it a crime to survive,abeg the thing dey everywhere and na hausas dey patronise dem most.
- Simon Kasham Bala My nation, my country wia are we going? We live wia we hit leg and we go de fight wia we fall. Ashawo is nt good but it never reach jailed issue. Mr jugde tink wisely and act wisely.
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa @Uche, Den u see, since dere are some dat are doin it with fashion, it is just lack of home training for dose dat are saying it is bcux of hardship and joblessness, cux nigerians are not lazy people, even rhough i knw dere are hardship and joblessness but dat is not excuse for a lady to engage in such
- Uche Chimadaada ........that could not warrant such treatment though. It's very undemocratic and ungovernmental!
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa Way is undemocratic here, wat i want u to understand is dat, dere are some countries dat legalise prostitution dey are paying tax, dey are called commercial sex workers, but since it is not legalise here in nigeria no matter wat condition such people are it is still not an excuse, dey most be dealt wit
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa Wat is undemocratic here, wat i want u to understand is dat, dere are some countries dat legalise prostitution dey are paying tax, dey are called commercial sex workers, but since it is not legalise here in nigeria no matter wat condition such people are it is still not an excuse, dey most be dealt wit
- Uche Chimadaada U wanna deal with someone that chosses what he or she wanna do with his or her life?
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa But life most be guided wit some rules and regulation dat most be followed, right
- Justice Ofolete Our govt is just full of crabs,our legal system is quick in jailing minor offenders but let the worst criminal who steals public funds coz hunger,poverty,restiveness in our country go free. if they had done well this ladies won't indulge in prostitution and its there fundamental human right to do what they want with there bodies since they don't force men to patronize them. Prostitution is everywhere even in National Assembly,villa,banks,our homes,since not all sex is done due to love some are done with favors
- Uche Chimadaada Muhammad, not when I chose what I wanna do with my own life. When I do, I do it to my own peril. Even for example; Bank will write thus; DON'T PARK HERE, IF YOU DO, FOR YOUR OWN RISK"! So, are u telling me that, if u pesisted and parked ur car, dey will penalize u?
- Muhammad Yusuf Musa Ur example is, if ur car is stolen u will blame ur self for it, but u knw dere is different between human being and a car, ur life is not only ur own someone else has to look @ wat u do wit ur life
- Aduku Ameh Mayor prostitution constitutes a public nuisance. @ Uche pls. stop being economical with d truth.
- Justice Ofolete Hmmm,for those of u who resides in Abuja like myself,u should know better that our Law makers(Senators/Reps) spends heavily of prostitutes,our law enforcers(police) and Law interpreters(Lawyers/Judges) also spends same even we common citizens do patronize them. So why condemn Prostitutes when we are also guilty?
- Justice Ofolete I can't personalize it bro,am not innocent and I don't condemn people who patronize prostitutes coz its better than raping women and 2year old babies @Aduku
- Uche Chimadaada Aduku, Prostitution a public nuisance? Frankly speaking, I see no harm from the act to the public.
