The Nigerian Police Force allegedly detained over 100 people for their involvement in a covert gay wedding.
A viral video shows the accused being paraded in front of a police station.
The incident has caused debate and controversy both within the country and on a global scale.
Notably, among those seized were both the bride and groom of the purported same-sex wedding.
Over a hundred gay men were arrested after a secret gay wedding (Video).
This uncommon position emphasizes the seriousness of the event in the eyes of the authorities.
The public exhibition of those detained emphasizes the seriousness with which the Nigerian government is dealing with this incident, which is consistent with the wider legal and cultural position against same-sex marriage.
Nigeria’s legislative framework establishes its position on same-sex relationships.
The Nigerian constitution expressly prohibits same-sex marriage and sexual relationships as being incompatible with cultural norms and societal values.
