Aliyu Giwa, a police officer in the Force Public Relations Office (FPRO), has said Nigerian law prohibits anyone from carrying out abortion either on themselves or on others.

He said this is in a Twitter post on Tuesday where he cited sections of the constitution that prohibit such abortion and other related offences.

According to him, anyone directly or indirectly involved in the process that leads to miscarriage is liable to imprisonment.

He wrote: "If you already know this! Then this is a reminder. And if you don’t know, then know it now! The criminal code Act, section 228 - 230 says:

"228. ATTEMPTS TO PROCURE ABORTION - Any person who, with intent to procure miscarriage of a woman whether she is or is not with child, unlawfully administers to her or causes her to take any poison or other noxious thing, or uses any force of any kind, or uses any other means whatever, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years.

"229. Attempts To Procure Own Miscarriage: Any woman who, with intent to procure her own miscarriage whether she is or is not with child, unlawfully administers to herself any poison or other noxious thing, or uses any force of any kind, or uses any other means whatever, or permits any such thing or means to be administered or used to her, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for seven years.

"230. supplying drugs or instruments to procure abortion. Any person who unlawfully supplies to or procures for any person anything whatever, knowing that it is intended to be unlawfully used to procure the miscarriage of a woman, whether she is or is not with child, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for three years.

"If you already know this and you still don’t care. My brother and sister God will surely expose you."

SaharaReporters could not find recent statistics on abortion rates in Nigeria.
However, according to Guttmacher Institute, an estimated 1.25 million induced abortions occurred in Nigeria in 2012, “equivalent to a rate of 33 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–49”.

The study said, “Fifty-six percent of unintended pregnancies were resolved by abortion. About 212,000 women were treated for complications of unsafe abortion, representing a treatment rate of 5.6 per 1,000 women of reproductive age, and an additional 285,000 experienced serious health consequences but did not receive the treatment they needed.”

Lalasticlala

What happens to men who impregnate? What punishment is given to irresponsible fathers and boyfriends who impregnate and deny?
What punishment is given to rapists?
Nigeria law is made to keep women in bondage but we will all prevail

Don't destroy what you can't create.

Don't take your own life and don't stop another one's life.

As Expected...

The Future is Female crew members have started wailing .

When they Willingly open their Red Toto for men to vandalize, there was no wailing then oo

If you open your Legs Willingly, then get ready to give birth to that Baby(s) Willingly...

Jokers! There are many big hospitals that help women abort their babies in Nigeria

Look at the unsustainable population growth we have in this country. Still, the Government is outlawing abortion. How else do you explain a self sabotage?

Remember to Vote Tinubu 2023.

Vote APC in 2023 Presidential elections

God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Abortion where Postinor2 dey

how will it be detected dat a woman or girl av committed abortion? ..

what nonsense

arrant nonsense. A woman should have the right to her body and what grows inside.

Until a baby is born, it does not have a right and the rights and decision of the woman stands supreme.

why force an unwanted pregnancy to be born when there is no plan for upkeep. i guess they just want more thugs and decadence in the society for them to take advantage of.

Modified: For those quoting me, while i do not support murder, i also believe population control with birthrate is important. We are not rabbits, we are human brings. sometimes e dey enter without plan and we should be allowed to remedy that which is not planned for.
A modified law should allow for abortion in only the first trimester.

Haylel:

If this shithole is not worth it, make yourself happier by leaving the world.
Of course, you won't take that option, because the shithole is better.


No need sugar-coating, abortion is murder.
A measure like murder should only be allowed in rare instances, say;

- Rape turn pregnancy of an underage due to the risk involved

- Where it is medically proven that the woman will lose her life.

Other complicated issues should given a chance for adoption by orphanage homes.

But for those who think they should be allowed to bleep and abort if it ever becomes a baby, nahhh... Lie on the bed you laid.

In Nigeria, the average women will rather sleep in the grave and conceive the child of satan then to adopt the child of another woman.
We do not value lives on the normal and i believe its just our religious "self righteousness" that is leading us on insisting that an unwanted pregnancy must be kept.

A sperm is wasted when ejaculated into a condom. Eggs are menstruated monthly. When they meat and form a foetus that's not a baby until a brain is fully formed after the first trimester. We must learn to look beyond our noses and see the true picture of thing

That means Nigeria prison yard will not contain those that do and carryout the abortion.
Over 60% of Nigerian girls and married women today are guilty.
Even in the hospital where I work.

Oh no.........

If you investigate the police officer ( Aliyu Giwa) saying this he might have paid for abortion before

Police and Toto dem be 5$6 for those of u that don't know

Ok

Good one.
