An Abuja Magistrate Court, yesterday, found Bisala, 19, guilty of having “unlawful” sexual relationship with her 34-year-old lover (names withheld).
Bisala 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.
She said: “My Lord, I am guilty of cheating on my husband. I want the court to pardon me.”
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.”
