JUST IN: Police Disrupt Gay Wedding, Arrest 100 Suspects In Delta

The Delta State Police Command on Tuesday announced that it arrested over 100 gay suspects carrying out a gay 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.”

It would be recalled that after the anti-gay law was signed in 2014, security personnel detained and paraded people whom they suspected to be homosexuals.

In a brothel in Lagos state’s Okota area, the Lagos State Police Command detained 10 people in December 2020 on suspicion of homosexual behaviour.

57 males were displayed by the state police earlier in 2018 for allegedly participating in homosexual acts at the Kelly Ann Hotel in Egbeda.

Eight alleged homosexuals were detained for alleged gay activities in a hotel in Isolo, Lagos, in January 2022.

The anti-gay law of 2014 mandates a 14-year prison sentence for anyone found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with someone of the same sex.
