The Lagos State Government on Thursday arraigned 28 adults
and 12 minors before a Lagos Magistrate Court for allegedly engaging in
homosexuality contrary to the laws of the land.
The minors were arraigned before Ebute-Metta Magistrate
Court, while the adults were arraigned before Yaba Magistrate Court.
The defendants, who are all males, were arraigned separately
on a one-count charge.
They were all arrested last Saturday by men of the Lagos
State Police Command in Owode Onirin area of the State.
The defendants were said to have been caught in the act of
homosexuality at Vintage Hotel.
According to the criminal charge, the
defendants were said to have “On or about 29th July, 2017, engage in gay
activities by permitting male persons to have canal knowledge of themselves
against the order of nature.”
The adults are Adedayo Kamadupe (27), Abiodun Pedro (22),
Ikechukwu Onyebuchi (32), Dike Stanley (19), Oji Charles Isioma (28), Garuba
Ibrahim (21), Monday Favour (20), Ayo Marcus Ayobamidele (26), Stanley Adeasbo
(25), Victor Isaac (18), Godwin Williams (19), Kashimawo Oluwatosin (25), Abass
Tajudeen (24), Olamigoke Adeola (19) and Yussuf Fawaz (19). Others are Johnson
Michael (19), Francis Michael (22), Samuel Adeyinka (25), Samuel Collins (25),
Kazeem Akorede (25), Adebayo Bukola (23), Ochiagha Ifeanyi (19), Babatunde
Taiwo (26), Raphael Dugh (30), Kenneth Ubaji (19), Alisi Ferdinand Okechukwu
(30), Malik Ahmed (18) and Olamide Adeola (18). .
After the charge was read to the defendants, they all
pleaded not guilty.
In his ruling, Chief Magistrate Adewale Ojo granted bail to
the defendants in the sum of N500, 000 and two sureties in like sum. .
The minors were arraigned before Magistrate Segun Elias of
Ebute-Metta Magistrate Court in a closed-session.
Many Nigerians are increasingly coming out of the closet about their homosexuality.
I believe this bravery gained momentum after the 14-year-jail-term bill was signed into law.
Is this recurring bravado good old rebellion against the law by primary targets, or simply a reflection of Western influence?
Oya, America, come and carry your people o.
