Court Admits 69 Gay Wedding Suspects To N.5m Bail by GuruboiNaija: 11:35am On Sep 20, 2023
Sixty-nine gay suspects who were apprehended on August 27 in Ekpan Community, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, during a gay wedding ceremony have been released on bail.

Counsel to the suspects, Mr Ochuko Ohimor, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Warri that they were admitted to bail with N500,000 and two sureties each.

According to Ohimor, the sureties must reside within the Effurun jurisdiction of the court.

He added that the suspects must sign an undertaking at the State High Court of Justice, Effurun, in Uvwie LGA, where they were earlier arraigned on September 4.

“The suspects were granted bail at a cost of N500,000 and two sureties each. The sureties must reside within the Effurun jurisdiction,” Ohimor told NAN.

Police prosecutor, Vincent Orarumen, had opposed the bail condition, but their lawyer argued otherwise, saying that the alleged crime was not a capital offence.

NAN recalls that the suspects were paraded before newsmen on August 29 at the Ekpan Police Station at the instance of the Delta State Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr Wale Abass.

They were arrested by a crack team of police operatives attached to the Ekpan Division while conducting a gay wedding ceremony, which they tagged, “all white party.”

The CP, while parading the suspects, vowed to prosecute them in line with Nigeria’s Anti-Gay Law, which, according to him, prohibits same-sex marriage in the country.
“I can guarantee that they will be charged to court. We are not taking it lightly. It is a clear case, though, they are still presumed innocent until proven otherwise by the competent court,” he said. (NAN)

Why releasing them to go and continue with their sodomy? I thought the offense attract 14 years in prison? Nigeria is a huge joke.
