Police make multiple arrests at a ‘gay event’ in Nigeria

Police in Nigeria say they have taken into custody around 200 homosexual men during a gathering in the southern region of Delta state.

Sixty-seven people will now face charges after investigations.

However, many of the men who were shown to journalists on Tuesday said they weren’t gay, but instead were people who worked in fashion as designers, photographers, and models. They said they had been asked to come to the event.

One of the men said that they were kept captive for several days without any water or the ability to use their phones.

The spokesperson for the police, DSP Bright Edafe, said that homosexuality is not allowed and will never be accepted in Nigeria.

“He said that this action is bad and we should not imitate the Western world. ”

The men were taken into custody around 02:00 in the early morning on Monday. This happened after the police stopped a man who was dressed like a woman late on Sunday night.

The police were told by the man that he was an actor at first, but later he admitted that he was a part of a gay group and had a gathering at a hotel.

Two people were supposedly discovered wearing wedding attire at the location, and the authorities claimed to have found a video recording of a wedding.

But both men said that the accusations were not true. They said that they did not dress in clothes of the opposite sex and that they were not attracted to people of the same gender.

Someone said they were a fashion designer and that the clothes the police said was a “groom’s outfit” was actually a design they were modeling at the event.

The second man, who was wearing a woman’s wedding dress, claimed he was asked to be a model at the event and denied the accusations made by the police.
