The culprits admitted that they knew hawking Pornographic materials is prohibited in any part of the state. 18-year-old Obodoe said he knew the act was outlawed in the state but resorted to hawking P0*nographic materials to eke out a living.

He however pleaded for mercy and promised not to violate the law again.

According to the Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, there had been complaints by residents of the resurgence of Pornographic materials on the streets of Lagos, and so the taskforce took action on the complaints.

He reiterated that the government has banned the selling or distribution of such materials because of the negative influence they have on children, and therefore warned that anyone caught in the act will face the wrath of the law.
