If you were given the options- Pay N10, 000 or spend 6 weeks in jail, what would you do?
To be honest, it’s a no-brainer, except if you are completely cash-strapped and no one likes you enough to help you out.
But then, sex workers who earn between 10-20k any given night, would be able to afford 10k bail, no?
We’d like to believe that the 30 prostitutes who were sentenced to 6 weeks imprisonment for doing their job, will be able to pay the fine and skip jail.
With this ruling- “You are hereby sentenced to six weeks imprisonment with an option of N10, 000 fine each”, Magistrate O. Odusanya- has sent the prostitutes back to work… and accrued N300,000 for the Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
