Akwa Ibom State is on the verge of making headlines with a jaw-dropping law set to be passed on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, banning women from sleeping with married men.
The bill, sponsored by Deputy Governor Her Excellency Senator Akon Inyang, is expected to sail through the State House of Assembly, sending shockwaves across the state.
Under the proposed law, any young girl, lady, or woman caught in a sexual relationship with a married man faces a whopping 10 years behind bars — no fine, no exceptions! The married men involved, however, will only pay a fine of ₦2 million.
Lawyer and farmer Obiavel Albert Abigo Esq confirmed the harsh penalties, revealing that the law is aimed at curbing immoral relationships.
The controversial bill is already stirring intense debate, with many questioning the gender-specific punishment and its potential impact on society.
