Five-year jail term for keepers of domestic servants under 18
Nigerians who employ and keep children under the age of 18 years as domestic servants will now spend five years behind the bars if caught and prosecuted.
Although the offenders are liable to a fine of N100,000, some could pay the fine and still be sent to jail, depending on the circumstances surrounding the commission of the offence and the judge's discretion.
If the offender is a corporate entity, the fine is N250,000. The assets of corporate entities and individuals found to have been acquired with the money from human trafficking will also be forfeited for the rehabilitation of the victims.

U think Nigerians would ever obey the law? I don't. Having housegirls under 18 is part of our tradition.

I am happy about this. I hope though that the government will follow through and arrest people who break it.
