The Delta State Police Command announced on Tuesday that they had arrested over 100 individuals suspected of being homosexuals and allegedly participating in a same-sex wedding ceremony at a hotel in Delta state. The police made this announcement through their official social media handle, indicating their intention to parade the suspects.
“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’s mentioned that since the enactment of the anti-gay law in 2014, individuals believed to be homosexuals have faced arrests and public displays by security forces.
Recall that since signing the anti-gay law in 2014, people believed to be homosexuals have been arrested and paraded by security operatives.
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.
