NIGERIA CRIMINAL CODE

SECTION
328
KILLING UNBORN CHILD

“Any person who when a woman is about to be delivered of a child prevents the child from born alive by any act or omission of such a nature that, if the child had been born alive and had then died, he would have be deemed to have unlawfully killed the child, is guilty of a felony and liable to imprisonment for life”.

As can be gleaned above, the punishment meted out to any convict, who, in any manner, kills an unborn child in Nigeria is life imprisonment. Yes, life imprisonment. The punishment is same for committing manslaughter. No exception under the law.

Therefore, instead of sitting down and complaining and complaining, why can’t you petition the Police to prosecute any abortion clinic or abortionist in your area or neighbourhood ?. (There are many of them). It is doable. I have written several of such petitions in the past and the Police really acted on them and prosecuted the abortion clinics or abortionists.

You can do it. Stop hesitating. Make a move. The price of liberty is perpetual vigilance
