Nigerian Police on Monday said that having sex in a car at a public place is not a crime and would not amount to arrest if done by persons within adult age in the country.
Police spokesman Abayomi Shogunle made the disclosure while responding to a question by a Nigerian Twitter user.
The Twitter user @Stanley_Moses13 asked, “Oga Yomi Shogunle please is it a crime to have sex in your car?”
Shogunle said it is not an offence provided the location is not a place of worship and the persons involved are of opposite sex that is 18 years or older.
