Police are looking for two people accused of organizing a gay marriage
in the northern Nigerian city of Sokoto, according to police report. The
owner of the house where the alleged ceremony took place at the
weekend has been arrested but the main suspects are still at large, the
spokesman added.
Homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria. Nigerians
involved in gay marriage or civil unions face imprisonment for up to 14
years under the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Bill signed into law by
former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan in 2014.
