Lovers Sentenced To 3 Months Imprisonment For Adultery In Abuja by ExAngel007(op): 4:05pm On Jan 30, 2025

A Gwagwalada Magistrates’ Court in Abuja sentenced two lovers, Mohammed Nazifi, 30, and Bilkisu Ibrahim, 25, to three months in prison each for committing adultery.

The police charged the couple with a one-count indictment of adultery, to which they both pleaded guilty.

Nazifi appealed to the court for leniency, stating that he is a married man with young children to care for.

Ibrahim also requested mercy, explaining that she has a three-year-old child and an elderly mother who depend on her.

Magistrate Olatunji Oladunmoye had previously remanded the defendants until they could provide a witness to attest to their good character. When they failed to do so, he proceeded to sentence them.

Oladunmoye sentenced both lovers to three months in prison, with an option to pay a fine of N25,000 each.

The magistrate emphasized that the purpose of the punishment was not to ruin the convicts but to reform them, adding that it would also serve as a deterrent to anyone considering similar actions.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Dabo Yakubu, told the court that the complainant, Mr Dayabe Abdullahi of Chibiri village, Kuje, Abuja, reported the matter at the Area Command, Gwagwalada, Abuja on Jan. 16.

Yakubu said that the convicts conspired and had sexual intercourse, and both confessed to the crime in their statements.

He said that the offence contravened the provisions of sections 387 and 388 of the Penal Code.

According to him, section 387 and 388 refers to a man or a woman subject to customary law where extra-marital sexual intercourse is recognised as a criminal offence.

“If the man or woman has sexual intercourse with anyone other than his spouse, he/she is guilty of adultery and shall be punished with imprisonment for a term.

“The term may extend to two years or with fine or with both,” he said.

Does this country have a constitution?

No constitution has the power to surpress human right.

I believe NIGERIA is a comedy channel in heaven. If the angel's want to laugh, all they need to do is to tune to the channel of Nigeria and watch comedy.

Since the SW don't want it in their region, you can as well ask them to bring it to SE region. At least the number of Moslems in your region is increasing on a daily basis now

It’s funny how both Nazifi and Ibrahim suddenly remembered their responsibilities as parents when they got caught. Before the affair, they didn’t seem to consider their families—Nazifi with his young children and Ibrahim with her elderly mother. Now, facing the consequences, they’re appealing for mercy. It’s always easy to forget the impact of actions on loved ones until the situation blows up in your face. Their sudden sense of responsibility feels a bit too late.

Finally, Tinubu has turned the judiciary into a preposterous institution. The Nigerian judiciary and the Nigeria Police Force: can't even tell which is more corrupt.

So, adultery is now a criminal offense in Nigeria.
