An Abuja Magistrate Court, yesterday, sentenced a 19-year-old housewife, Blessing to three months imprisonment after she was found guilty of having “unlawful” sexual relationship with her 34-year-old lover.
Bisola was convicted after she pleaded guilty to the charge of adultery, for which she was arraigned by the police, while the lover pleaded not guilty.
“My Lord, I am guilty of cheating on my husband,” Bisola said. “I want the court to pardon me.”
Police prosecutor, Insp. Phillip Appolos, had said that the convict’s husband, reported the matter at the Life Camp Police Station on September 1.
He alleged that the convict’s husband caught her in the act in a guest house in Life Camp, Abuja and immediately alerted a police patrol team attached to Life Camp Division.
According to him, the team led by Insp. Abdul Ogbe, arrested the two lovers and brought them to the police station.
Appolos said that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 387 and 388 of the Penal Code.
Magistrate Fati Tafida ruled: “Based on the admittance of the accused to committing the crime, and the evidence before the court, she is, hereby, sentenced to three months in prison, with an option of N1,000 fine, as a first offender.”
