BREAKING: Court Makes Decision On 69 Suspects Arrested Over ‘Gay Wedding’ In Nigeria
A court in Nigeria has granted bail to 69 individuals who were detained last month in relation to an alleged same-sex wedding, which is prohibited in the country, according to their lawyer on Tuesday.
Homosexuality is predominantly considered culturally and religiously immoral in Nigeria, as in much of Africa.
The country enacted an anti-LGBTQ law in 2014, despite facing international criticism.
A court in the southern oil-producing Delta state has determined that the accused may be released from prison custody following a hearing of their application, as stated by lawyer Ochuko Ohimor.
Ohimor mentioned that the suspects did not physically appear in court.
“They are to provide sureties, who will submit their particulars to the court. So, the 69 suspects have been granted bail and I am processing their paperwork,” Ohimor said.
