The Nigerian Senate today, pass a new bill imposing LIFE IMPRISONMENT on anyone found guilty of defiling a minor.
The law as passed, offers no option of fine, aiming to strengthen child protection deterring sexual abuse of children across the country.
Senators say the move reflects Nigeria’s commitment to safeguarding children and ensuring justice for victims of sexual violence.
The bill now awaits presidential assent to take effect.
