Akwa Ibom House Moves to Jail Women Who Sleep with Married Men for 10 Years

The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly is set to pass a bill on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, banning women from sleeping with married men. Under the proposed law, anyone found in such a relationship could face up to 10 years in prison, while the married man reportedly pays a fine of ₦2 million. This has sparked debate over fairness and personal freedom. With “Are you married?” now a vital question, the risk-reward ratio seems heavily stacked against side partners. Side chicks, are you ready for these new rules?
