In the Nigerian Criminal Code, sexual assault, encompassing various acts like rape and indecent assault, is a serious offense with varying punishments depending on the specific act and circumstances, with penalties ranging from imprisonment to death. Here's a more detailed breakdown: General Assault: Section 351 states that unlawfully assaulting another is a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for one year, unless a greater punishment is provided. Assault with Intent to Have Carnal Knowledge: Section 352 criminalizes assaulting someone with the intent to have carnal knowledge against the order of nature, making it a felony punishable by imprisonment for fourteen years. Indecent Assault: Section 360 addresses unlawfully and indecently assaulting a woman or girl, which is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for two years. Rape: While the Criminal Code doesn't explicitly define "rape" in the same way as a modern legal definition, it criminalizes sexual acts committed with force or against a person's will, which would be considered rape under modern laws. Treason: Section 37 addresses treason, which includes levying war against the State to intimidate or overawe the President or Governor of a State, and is punishable by death. |

omoredia:Like I wrote, don't say it to a female minor in the West. Even back in Nigeria, more parents are becoming unreceptive to their female children who are minors being called "my wife" by adult males. |

Mindlog:That is their own. People are getting woke and being irritated by all sorts now so it's their madness it doesn't make normal |

Mindlog:Even at that, there's no law in the West that makes such utterance a crime! It is distasteful and you could be looked upon as a weirdo with people avoiding you but usually that's where it ends. |

Iretii0511: Xisnin:Ur head no correct. Since when are accusations proof of anything? The law is very very clear on accusations because the law says you are innocent until proven guilty and Natasha is yet to prove Akpabio is guilty. |

Obiedun:I don't really support this part but it's not that bad. My problem is that ladies and useless girls will wear nonsense and still be complaining of sexual harassment You will never see a very decent woman who dresses especially like a good Muslim and will be complaining of harassment. It will not happen because they did not appear to be harassed sexually |

rinzaugustine:Are you sure this people don't usually sit and plan these things to distract Nigerians from the real issues? If they are not distracting us with frivolities, they are pushing out fake stats—no real solutions to better the life of the people. |

I hate it when ladies scream Sexual Harassment after any small joke. Toasting is not sexual harassment. Did he press your breasts, or did he press your brokos? If Akpabio asked Natasha out, all she needed to have said is, I am not interested. That is not any form of sexual harassment. Let us stop giving oxygen to nonsense accusations. If as a lady, you do not want any man to toast you, then remain in your father house or in your husband house. This world is a free world. Toasting a lady, even if she is married is not a crime. If it is a crime, point it out in the constitution let us see. |

What else do you all expect from Natasha whose mother is from Ukraine? People who elected a Comedian as their President to lead them to War against Russia. |

Nigerian ladies are harassed sexually everyday....some even see it as normal. But with the way women are sexually objectified especially on social media, it's a BIG problem indeed. |

So long you are rich or in a position of authority in Nigeria, you can hardly be considered a sex offender. |
