CONVERSEER reports that homos*xuality is a crime in Nigeria and anyone found guilty faces 14 years imprisonment.
Recall that on 7th January 2014, former President Goodluck Jonathan signed the “Same-S*x Marriage (Prohibition) Bill” into law.
The law imposes a 14-year prison sentence on anyone who “[enters] into a same-s*x marriage contract or civil union,” and a 10-year sentence on individuals or groups, including religious leaders, who “witness, abet, and aid the solemnisation of a same-s*x marriage or union.” It imposes a 10-year prison sentence on those who “directly or indirectly makes public show of same-s*x amorous relationship” and anyone who “registers, operates, or participates in gay clubs, societies, and organisations,” including supporters of those groups.
