ABUJA FHC DISMISSES SUIT SEEKING TO PROTECT RIGHTD OF COMMERCIAL SEX WORKERS. (PHOTO)


 

An Abuja Federal High Court has dismissed a suit filed by a non-governmental organization, Lawyers Alert Initiative for Protection of Rights of Children, Women and Indigent, seeking to enforce the rights of commercial sex workers to operate without intimidation from security agents.


Justice James Kolawole Omotosho, in his judgment, held that the application was incompetent and that the reliefs sought were not grantable. He stated that prostitution is an offense under the Penal Code Act and that the fundamental human rights of sex workers can be legally breached.


The judge emphasized that prostitution is alien to Nigerian culture and is considered an immoral act. He cited the African Charter on Human and People's Rights, which reflects the cultural norms and values of African societies.


The suit, filed on May 14, 2024, had sought to stop the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) and the FCT Minister from harassing, intimidating, arresting, and prosecuting sex workers in Abuja. However, Justice Omotosho declared that the AEPB is well within its right to arrest and prosecute sex workers, as they constitute a nuisance in the FCT and are committing an offense.
