EkoHotBlog reports that the Ekiti State Government has warned that anyone who practices or facilitates a proposed 3-day kiss-thon programme risks a 3 year prison term.

The state government stated in a release that a prohibition notice signed by the Attorney General & Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Dayo Apata (SAN) on Thursday, forbids any person or corporate body from allowing the execution of the proposed programme in the state.

“He also added that the planned Kiss-A-Thon programme is contrary to Sections 148 & 150 of the Criminal Law (2021), which prohibit indecent acts & practices in the State & anyone who violates the law is guilty of a felony & is liable to imprisonment for 3 years,” the statement warned.
