Over 100 Suspected Homosexuals Arrested at Wedding Ceremony

The Delta State Police Command has reported the arrest of more than 100 suspected homosexuals who were allegedly participating in a same-sex wedding ceremony at a hotel in Delta state.

The police made the announcement through their official social media handle and stated their intention to parade the suspects soon.

The incident comes in the wake of the 2014 anti-gay law, which imposes a 14-year prison sentence on individuals convicted of engaging in same-sex activities. Since the enactment of the law, cases of arrests and parades of individuals believed to be involved in homosexual activities have been reported across Nigeria.
