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.
The state police announced in a message on its official X (previously Twitter) handle that the accused would be paraded soon.
“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.”
Since the passage of the anti-gay law in 2014, people suspected of being homosexuals have been arrested and displayed by security forces.
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 anti-gay law of 2014 stipulates a 14-year prison term for anyone convicted of having sex with members of the same sex.
