Lagos Parents Could Go To Prison For Flogging Their Children.

There's a criminal bill currently being deliberated by the Lagos State House of Assembly - a very nice, funny  and weird bill..:-)

The bill has prescribed prison terms for various offenses, including the beating or flogging of children by their parents - (WEIRD). The bill also sees the maltreatment of animals as a criminal offense while the culprits are liable to imprisonment - (FUNNY). It also seeks to legalize abortion but this is limited to incidents of rape and incest - (NICE).
  
The bill also seeks to look at persons whose conducts indicate that they are disposed to commit offenses.
The bill which is divided into nine parts, 48 chapters and 414 sections, classifies offences into three types namely: felony, misdemeanours and simple offences. Section eight of the bill defines felony as “any offence which is declared by law to be a felony, or is punishable, without proof of previous conviction with death or with imprisonment for three years or more.
