“Adultery Is Not An Offence In All States In Nigeria.”

DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 209)

“Adultery Is Not An Offence In All States In
Nigeria.”

Adultery is an offence only in the northern part of Nigeria. It
is not an offence in the Western, Eastern and Southern parts of
Nigeria. Hence, adultery as a crime in states in Northern Nigeria,
it is punishable with 2 years imprisonment and or with an option of
fine. In the other parts of Nigeria, no person can be charged to
court for adultery.

My authorities are sections 387 and 388 of the Penal Code Act,
1960.
