Since signing the anti-gay law in 2014, people believed to be homosexuals have been arrested and paraded by security operatives.
The Delta
State Police Command on Tuesday announced that it arrested over 100 suspected
homosexuals carrying out a wedding ceremony in a hotel in Delta state.
In a post
on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the state police said it would
parade the suspects shortly.
“Delta
State Command has arrested over a hundred gay suspects in a hotel carrying out
a gay wedding ceremony. We will be going live shortly on Facebook to parade the
said suspects.”
In
December 2020, the Lagos State Police Command arrested 10 individuals suspected
of homosexual activities in a brothel located in the Okota area of the state.
Earlier in
2018, the police in the state paraded 57 men for alleged homosexual activities
at Kelly Ann hotel in Egbeda.
In January
2022, eight alleged homosexuals were arrested in a hotel in Isolo, Lagos for
alleged gay activities.
The PUNCH
reports that the anti-gay law of 2014 stipulates a 14-year prison term for
anyone convicted of having sex with members of the same sex.
