Challenged to a duel

/in /by

A colleague of mine challenged me to duel over a matter that I do not wish to disclose. I am determined to fight for my honor because I am not a coward.  However, I believe duels were a thing of the past and may be prohibited under current laws. I do not want to find myself on the wrong side of the law, kindly guide me.

The Penal Code [Cap. 16 R.E. 2022] (the Penal Code), prohibits duels and makes it an offence to challenge a person to a duel. According to section 88 of the Penal Code any person who challenges another to fight a duel or attempts to provoke another to fight a duel or attempts to provoke any person to challenge another to fight a duel is guilty of an offence. You are therefore advised to set aside your pride and refrain from taking part in this duel. Your lawyer can guide you further.
