Ejigbo again there's something in that area that just can't keep its head straight. Today na rape, tomorrow na assault or market women being forced to strip naked.... Haba

Which kain newss be dis?..breast kon be gold?..sheo

I need to see those breasts make I know wetin dey so magnetic about them. I just hope I don't end up being magnetised into touching the breasts, too.

Funny shit but some men can't control them self na so rape they start

What?! N50,000 bail for touching breast? Mr Yusuf, you are a big fool. In Lagos here if you are the type, with only N3000 or N5000 depending on the lady and the area, you can freely touch, suck, lick, etc, as many breasts as possible and do whatever you want.

Some are even looking for who to touch them for free. Judge pls send him to jail for ignoring those ladies who are willing and ready for action to the one that will put him in trouble

hmmm.

3 years jail term for touching a woman's breast all in the name of classifying the act as "sexual assault?". Gosh! And Bode George went to jail for two years for stealing millions of NPA money

Men oh men, I'm starting to believe this laws of ours were really made just for the poor man. I find it unbelievable that offenses as this one, which should have carried the penalty of 3 month or 6 months imprisonment, carry the penalty of 3 good years in prison.

I believe we really need to review our laws in this country.

What a pervert

Adaure4ever:
hmmm.
