Reason Why Teebillz Could Go To Jail Over Tiwa Savage

The singer and her husband have been having it rather rough lately with the messy details of their failed marriage splattered all over the internet and the blog sites. There seems to be no reprieve as it has now been reported that Teebillz could spend a year in prison.

Not for the drug allegations or adultery or any other indiscretion, but for the suicide attempt itself. Under the Nigerian criminal code, suicide is a crime liable to about 12 months in jail. Teebillz has been confirmed to have attempted suicide, therefore, falls under the ambit of the law.

According to Section 327 of the Nigerian Criminal Code ‘Any person who attempts to kill himself is guilty of a misdemeanour and liable to imprisonment for 1 year’.

According to thenet.ng Teebillz might not have to go to jail though as this is a law that doesn’t see much mileage, the source told thenet.ng ‘such cases are usually handled by medical personnel who assess the mental state of the individual and try to offer treatment for depression and other mental disorders.’

It would be a huge blow if Teebillz had to deal with a jail term after all he’s going through.
