Homos*xuals Stage Protest As Members Stand Trial Before Court In Anambra

The Atani Chief Magistrate Court in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State witnessed a mild drama yesterday, as some people who claimed to be homos*xuals nearly disrupted court proceedings in solidarity with two suspected gays standing trial for allegedly having gay s*x.

A large number of men with feminine look started gathering at the court premises as early as 9.00 am to the surprise of the people around and it soon became obvious that they were in court to identify with two of their members who were arrested by the police and charged to court for same s*x violation.
Chanting anti-police songs, members of the group said it was wrong for the police to interfere with their fundamental rights and freedom of association.
They therefore demanded unconditional release of the two persons standing trial on a two-count charge of violating the law, insisting that they would continue to fight for their rights in Nigeria despite what they described as “the challenges the group was facing in the National Assembly.”
The suspects were however remanded in prison custody until an eligible court takes up the matter, as the court said it had no jurisdiction over the matter.
