Reason these kidnappers will keep going after the rich and no one will complain. That magistrate needs that dose

Advanced countries would carry out therapy on these women to figure out the reason they ventured into such business, grant them job opportunities and do a follow up on them rather than criticize.

YomiShogunle Are they patronized by their fellow women. makeandbreaklawsociety

YomiShogunle YS, it's high time we legalised it. Let them pay taxes and be regarded. NGRSenate nassnigeria Do something about this. It's just economics.

I am concerned about Sex for Bail

Prison guards will rebrand them

The change actually changed more ladies to prostitutes in Nigeria...but I think it's among the jobs the APC created!

Sharia Things Is Happening Live

This is madness! Next level of Sharia law in the FCT. It's a shame, enjoy your Bubu while he lasts.

Huh ? We are jailing people for prostitution but pardoning people for assassination. What a country !

Shameful!

Is it hailing them that will solve the whole issue of giving them something decent to do that will generate income for them that will solve the whole matter, our government need to be wise

As if they don't patrinise em.

osho baba wd say they were arrested the time decent nigerians are sleeping

It is only harmless women that they can see to arrest & jail. FYI, some of the graduates you see today were trained by some of those you labeled prostitutes some of who are widows. Even the magistrate that convicted them must have been a customer at a time. Useless country.

Sharp sharp dem don jail dem...... Y is it so hard to jail looters ..... Awon weyre

Watch Out! How many of them go get Belle for that Prison.

But prostitution as a profession is not a crime i guess.

What about their clients?

While in Jail business as usual!!!

Where are the feminists?

Imagine!

On what grounds.Nigeria is not a Sharia country where you can jail people for prostitution.What type of country is Nigeria for God’s sake.When your thinking about relocating back home and you read stories like this you start thinking twice again.They all have human rights as well
