Nigerian police 'hunt for gay marriage organisers'

Police are looking for two people accused of organizing a gay marriage in the northern Nigerian city of Sokoto.

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.


Homosexual acts are 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.
