Commercial Sex Worker Bags Four Years Jail Term

For biting a customer’s tongue during a stormy love-making session, a commercial sex worker, Dooshima Anems, has been sentenced to four years imprisonment by an Upper Area Court in Makurdi.

The Magistrate, Rose Iyorshe, sentenced Anems after she pleaded guilty and told the court that she had to bit Amos Igbo in self defence.

In her judgment, Iyorshe however gave Anems an option to clean the court premises for one week as her sentence.

The police had charged Anems with assault and causing grievous hurt. According to the Police Prosecutor, Inspector Veronica Shaagee, the convict was arrested on September 28, 2021.

In the Police officer’s testimony to the court, Anems bit Igbo, her partner’s tongue during sex at the Tekdee Hotel where they were lodged. She said Igbo picked up Anems at Yaman Park and paid her N2,000 for the night.

Shaagee said the offence contravened sections 166(b) and 248 of the Penal Code Cap 124 (2004) Laws of Benue.

In her statement during the trial, Anems explained that Igbo wanted more time in a bed outside the money he had initially paid but she refused and that was when things went sour between them.

”My Lord he hit me hard. I bit him in self-defence,” she explained. – With agency report
