Two sex workers namely; Blessing Esu, 28, and Rita Ume, 36 were sentenced to three months imprisonment each for loitering and disorderly conduct.
It was reported that the women had pleaded guilty to the charges of loitering and behaving in a disorderly or indecent manner in public place.
Judgement was passed on them on Wednesday in Tinubu Magistrates' Court in Lagos before Magistrate Tokunbo Omoyele who did not give the sex workers an option of fine but rather said that the court had no option than to sentence them since they had admitted committing the offences.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Sgt. Daniel Ighodalo, told the court that the two women committed the offences on March 1 at 2.30 a.m. on Victoria Island, Lagos.
He said the offences contravened Sections 166 (a) (i) and (ii) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
