Victims of leaked nude photos can pursue civil, criminal cases — Lawyers

Court

Some legal experts have advised victims whose nude images were shared online without their consent to pursue both civil and criminal remedies under Nigerian law.

The lawyers gave the advice in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Lagos.

They described the act as a violation of privacy and human dignity, particularly in cases where a company that had engaged a model leaked her nude photographs online without her consent.

A human rights lawyer, Mrs Jumoke Ajayi, said victims of such exposure could approach the court to enforce their fundamental rights. Punch
