Ekiti State Government said on Thursday that perpetrators and propagators of kiss-a-thon, a planned kissing marathon targeted at setting a Guinness World Record, billed to start in the state on Friday risked three years imprisonment.

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Dayo Apata, said the same fate awaited proprietors or owners of any facility used for the hosting of such an event in the state apart from closing it down.

A group, Sugartee, in leaflets circulated in the state, had planned the three-day (72-hour) kissing event billed to be held in Ekiti between July 7 and July 10, saying the three-day kissing marathon was “an attempt to break the GWR for the longest kissing marathon.”

Apata, who spoke in a prohibition notice of the kiss-a-thon, which he signed, said, “Pursuant to the provisions of the law and any other relevant laws applicable in Ekiti State, the proposed programme tagged kiss-a-thon is hereby prohibited throughout the length and breadth of Ekiti State.

"The planned kiss-a-thon programme is contrary to sections 148 and 150 of the Criminal Law (2021) which prohibits indecent acts and practices in the state, and anyone who violates the law is guilty of felony and is liable to imprisonment for three years.

“Any person or corporate body that allows himself/herself and facilities to be used in executing the proposed programme in the state would be prosecuted before an appropriate court.”
