..... As bill awaits presidential assent
The Nigerian Senate has passed a new bill imposing life imprisonment on anyone - man or woman found guilty of having sexual intercourse with a minor.
The law which offers no option of fines, aims to strengthen child protection and deter sexual abuse across the country.
This is a strong step towards protecting our children and ensuring that predators, rapists, and child abusers face the full weight of the law.
However, the bill now awaits presidential assent to take effect.
