Ekiti State Government has warned that anyone who practices or facilitates a proposed three-day kiss-a-thon risks going to jail.
The state government said that it forbids any person or corporate body from allowing the execution of the proposed programme.
The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dayo Apata (SAN), in a prohibition notice on Thursday, stated that the planned Kiss-a-thon programme is contrary to Sections 148 and 150 of the Criminal Law (2021), which prohibit indecent acts and practices in the state.
Apata warned that anyone who violates the law is guilty of a felony and liable to three years imprisonment.
Recall that Politics Nigeria earlier reported the news making rounds about a proposed three-day programme by some individuals in Ekiti State tagged kiss-a-thon.
The proposed event is meant to be a three-day kissing marathon planned towards setting a Guinness World Record.
The government condemned the planned event as an indecent act and an “absurd” programme capable of “denigrating” the image of Ekiti state.
