Four distributors of pornographic materials were arrested at Cele Bus Stop on Oshodi-Apapa Expressway on Tuesday by the taskforce after the police raided the area. Those arrested will be arraigned before the Special Offences Court at the taskforce yard and prosecuted for selling obscene materials.
The sellers of the materials arrested are Yinka Dada, 25 years; Udoh Nne, 29 years; Sylvester Obodoe, 18 years and Poopola Bamidele, 18 years. (pictured above)
The culprits admitted that they knew hawking pornographic materials is prohibited in any part of the state. Obodoe said he knew the act was outlawed in the state but resorted to hawking pornographic materials to eke out a living.
He pleaded for mercy and promised not to violate the law again.
Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, said there had been complaints by the residents of the resurgence of pornographic materials on the streets of Lagos.
He reiterated that the government has banned the selling or distribution of such materials as the act has a negative influence on children. (PM News)

TThough i do not support selling ponographic materials but Let The Government invest in the youths .. The Government have stolen the future of the youths so what do they want this people to do ... Even the graduates are looking for jobs.. Youth Corp members 5 sets back are still looking for job and they have time to arrest this people ... Depriving us the people of nigeria from basic needs and opportunity due to embezzlement of funds is the worst crime against humanity ... Its a crime that their generations will face the wrath .... Let them free my people oh and educate this individuals not to sell stuff like this no more

They resort to selling pornographic materials to eke out a Living.....issorai. These guys needs fast money not minding the negative influence it has on children
that serves them right, children are the leaders of 2moro nd so must be protected
Linda, Go to bed
A nice move, Hawking of pornographic materials makes it easier for the young ones to reach their hands on it, I agree, but on a large scale, young people get more access to pornography using the internet, especially with the fact that everyone has a phone nowadays
Hypocrites
Hmmm na wa oh! Leaders of tomorrow bin arrested any how, how will they now fend for themselves ehn?
They should leave them for me abeg!! They are the reason y i get satisfied sexually
they should leave them o. they do some of us a lot of good.
Lagos na wa. Eko oni baje
Let dem go abeg. I dnt c anyting wrong with dat. If wnt to arrest go and arrest our politicians looting our money.
And I wont be surprised if these hawkers get a harsh sentence meanwhile corrupt rogues in aso rock go scot free.
Guys see no more cuming 4una ooo cos na wetin de gingar we babes b dat...
Hahahahaha...about time tho
BULLSHIT. I never knew there was such a Law in Lagos. If you ask me its a STUPID and Hypocritical Law. Its Adult Material and as such it is left to parents to monitor their children. Secondly you want to Turn Lagos into a Metropolitan City without the side effects of a Metropolitan city. Such Hypocrisy. Don't the Lagos GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS mess around with girls all in the name of Broda Mi, Uncle Mi. F@#ing Hypocrites....They might as well ban the Internet as well. IDIOTS.
Police wl seize d movies n gaan watch now. *yimu*
This just goes to show the "Backwardness" of Nigeria. What is wrong with selling sex materials? Instead of police to hunt down criminals, they are extorting from the poor. Dont we have sex shops in civilised countries? Bloody hypocrites!!!!............Enigma
I don't knw what dis country is turning into, althou poverty, neglet and hardship is the contributory factors of this urgly life style of some people. Government shld think of how to rehibilitating them not taking them to court.
What about those hawking Nigeria's oil illegally in other contries have they been arrested?
gud one guys but porn is nw much more easily accessible nd can b goten frm anywher especially websites...tink dats wat dey shud wok on...dose site shud b censored
Na wa o....na wetin these poor people do now. They are trying to eat and you are arresting and jailing them.
Why take them to court? Let the society decide if they want to buy their stuff or not....
This country is so backward and repressive.
There's no law specifically against pornographic material, hence the vague charge on grounds of 'obscenity'. Is this priority for the government? What about all their pedophile friends? Na common man when dye find instant ready cash to chop selling what these perverts enjoy them dey bother. Raabbishhhh!
The task force is fighting a lost battle... Porn that is available at the click of a mouse...
if only d govt wil always enforce oda laws dat has to do wit unemployment. out youth wil be too busy for such.
Eko o ni baje o
all man dey hustle in different ways...

All these Lagos politicians are funny people . They have wives but are busy sleeping with actresses and other people's wives and they are at the same time making laws banning the sale of pornographic materials. Na wa for this people. Wonders will never end in Nijja. Even some of them up North even marry and sleep with under age girls and prostitutes. Which kind law be this. I beg make them release these people. If there are better jobs, will people be selling all these rubbish on the road side?
Useless and thieving Nijja politicians.
Hmm...Fashola is really working..Thumbs up..@ least this wud solve an issue of sexual molestation or even rape
Why have the government not arrested Chidi Mokeme that sell them and even sell sex toys too! Na wa o! Poor people will always be made to bear the brunt of the law
Ha the 3rd wOman na my customer O!

Fashola dey vex o! Very soon they will arrest dos sellin condom too...crazies city eva (lasgidi)
Wow!!! Great move.
I DO not see anything wrong!!
These people are just trying to feed themselves and family...all na hustle!
Lagos state govment should concentrate on creating more jobs, instead of frustrating less privileged people
make dem go internet dem go see customers who patronise 4 free nd dnt need 2 pay for porn
Na wa o. Me no know say na offense o. In dis IT age!!!! Wen people can easily browse porn sites. We still dey arrest those selling on d streets. Are dey not just supposed to restrict dem from selling to peeps under 18.
I rest my case. Via: www.naijalog.com
I guess the 18yrs old is the one covering her face...she should cover it very well. silly thing, what is she thinking selling porno at her age? If she has no money or sponsor to see her through school, what happened to skills acquisition centers? have they all closed down? Foolish thing
Really? Do we live in Mali? Which one is "obscene materials"? These are the same people that will hide and download all the porn on the web. Long drawn-out hiss!
"Lead us not into temptation"
Race against poverty nd hunger shuld not lead us 2 dis level. Help us Lord!
The state taskforce are fools!!!! Why didnt they go to Alaba and other places where these materials are produced instead of picking up a couple of small fry from the side of the road? Fools i tell you,Fools!!! Then they should just patrol all the streets of Lagos and continue to pick up the small fry and when we get to do a count of those arrested we might have a number close to a million!!!
The massive proliferation of pornographic materials is reliant on a specific source,a source which i know the taskforce is aware of but because of kickbacks they do not want to touch.
Carry go! continue to arrest and parade the small fry and maybe you will come and arrest Linda Ikeji also for putting nude pictures of Rihanna,Cossy and also showing us all the different contours of Large Penis on her Blog that makes people like Bonario to waste Vaseline.
I am waiting.....

A beg, I get one stupid question o... Is it an offence punishable by law to sell pornography in Nigeria??? Ah oga o, out of all out problems its funny how these so called 'moral' issues get fierce and strong reactions from government while crimes such as blatant corruption are subtly celebrated. And these people are a bunch of hypocrites, we know what goes on in these upper circles; it would make what you see in any of these magazines look like child's play! Let him who has committed no sin cast the first stone...
That's a good cos we need 2 scrutinize our environment of dis dirty act n stop d selling of it if possible.dis pornography film has caused more harm 2 our young ones. vivcandy
Is it hawking it dat is d offense or selling it in general? Cos i tink d law should be dat it should nt be sold to persons under d age of 18.nd dey should get a shop to sell it.
NA today,this shit has been on before i was even born lol
"Influence on children"? Omo na for lindaikeji blog all de pilin dem dey see mojo!
this doesn't make sense @all....
Eehyaa...Sylvester will miss fuckin this eva horny bitches..Wish dey can put them in d same cell tho!..Serves dem right!! Perverts!!!

This is bad, how can they be selling such things openly and publicly like recharge cards. They deserve it and such act cannot be indulge. Discover the Secret to losing weight and burning tummy fat
Gaia and Jewel are asking the right questions. Law and moral ethics should be kept apart. So on what grounds were they arrested? There is a simple answer to this question but i wonder what those that executed the arrest think they did it for..
RIDICULOUS....IN THIS ERA OF PORN BEING AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.....
Does the Lagos government think this would stop people from watching pornography when there are smart phones everywhere?
waoh...fashola wan bring morality for lagos? dis is gud? wot about the brothels and one night stand avenues?
small time dem go bigin dey arest babes with show laps bikini and show breast top clothes..hahahahahahahahahahahahah
Man pikin must chop na. This people have actually done nothing wrong really. Not like the government care about their survival so they had to do what they had to do to earn a living. What's the big deal about pornos like most of us don't have in our homes, on PCs, phones and even magazines. Free them jare. Una sabi where thieves and corrupt leaders dey una no go dia arrest dem. Anoufia!
Abeg it's good jor, Porn has its place and its not on the street. Go to Obalende. You can't walk for a minute without seeing breasts and people having sex everywhere they sell DVD's. I was walking along Saka Tinubu recently and I saw someone selling DVD's with images of naked people having sex! What if my children were with me? How do I answer all the 'mummy what is that' questions.
They should stop selling it on the street. If you like porn so much and can't do without it, I'm sure you'll be able to go and look for them in their shops, away from open streets and bus stops.
some people fail to see the point here! Porn should not be hawked on the street where children are. Even in the developed countries you are comparing Naija to, they have designated places where they sell them. This is also not an issue of block the website too - stupid comment.
It is about not introducing children involuntarily to thing they are not ready for (development wise)
people will do porn but dont force it through the throats of everyone including children.
Protect our children|!!!!!
Are they robbing anybody? Abeg...they should free them jare. We like to act hypocritical...people will be forming as if they have never viewed pornographic material. At least they are making a living.
This is the ANSWER for the DUMMIES among us. PORN being fully available everywhere in the world doesnt mean it should be in your face. Even in Amsterdam and other parts of europe where these things are staple, they still have specific shops and areas for them. The very sites where these movies are downloaded and burnt to DVD from have age restrictions. THERE MUST BE ORDER.
is it now a crime to sell ponographic materials in Lagos?..........
Deborah...dey don spoil 'enjoyment' for u? No worry u fit dey dowmload am online...lol.me I no dey read al dos porn mags since dauda/nackson d sexy guy no dey market again...

Nijah sef,our leaders are looting our nation into ruins,corruption and hypocrtes are living a lie daily and una dey here pointing fingers at hungry people with empty futures.
Youre only fooling yourselves.
Point your fingers at those that deserve it,or please keep quiet.
Billions have gone missing while youve spent time talking about mundane irrelevant issues.
No wonder we are being raped with immpunity.We spend our time throwing stones at victims.
very good question.....politicians milking nigeria dry day after day....God help this failed state called Nigeria....
I beg u'r too old for dis blog....
I hope this action is backed by law and not overzealousness. Maybe they were caught selling to minors.
Thou the main porn is on internet,how about the fact they are corrupting pple that can't have access to internet yet?
Its gud they are stopped, cos these are things that cause rape and child abuse!!
Shey linda write d age limit 4 ppl wey go visit ha blog ni??abii she employ u2 dey screen ppl ni??abii as Eya Ayambem dey visit d blog e dey affect d price wey dem dey sell garri 4ur area ni?...na ur type go marry nd wil stop bein currnt.abeg park well joor
this is sooooooooooo stupid, whats wrong in selling porn? why are nigerians such hypocrites ? and thats why we are where we are now!! The idiot that arrested them probably has sex with the house help and the akara seller on his road, probably has his wife tied up in some bondage shit, even sef, was probably weraring female underwear while making the arrest. idiots!! the world has changed, Nigerians are even more freaky than the americans sef,
we just like to behave primitive sometimes. soooooo stupid
See how they are parading them like thieves. Rubbish!!!
my mind exactly.Rubbish,Poor man Don suffer. We need to arrest dis thief's dat are stealing Nigerian future, not dis people.
Lmao!
Am in love with u for this comment. The only reasonable comment so far. Some people on this blog just need to go back to their books honestly. The only thing I hear in this country is, government this, government that but when they work, Nigerians will still complain. They have to start from somewhere people, hawking pornographic materials publicly is not right.
you ppl dont think like adults @all. It's about selling and displaying it publicly.that's the offence.
BULLSHIT!
Ahn Ahn,atleast they are not stealing,they look soo depressed:(,soo sorry for them tho
dis is an arrant nonsense,they shud start arresting the importers and also those thieves dat are in the government houses and nt the minors dat are hustling for the betterment of there lives.
At least they re not d producers of dat material which they re sellg, they just wanna make a livg, pls go to d main person, and those chap should let go, warn them not to do dat again. Naija govt, chasing shadow always.
And the pastors,thieves,gamblers,killers,fornicators e.tc of 2mao...smh
Much as I would not promote d sale of porn materials,I think Fash is getting d wrong pple into prison. 1st it ws okada pple, then beggers, now pple who are trying to earn a living for themselves. Serizly Fash is marking time and not working, very sn. Pple who walk on flower beds will be arrested. I feel these pple shld be punished lightly and made to pay fine, and there shld be a raid, which shld amount to d destructn of sch offensve n porn materials.
Hw ever they sinned by not obeying authority#bible#
