Outrange in school: two homosexuals discovered making love
If you are in Nigeria, it is not an easy life. The
law society, often friends and family will discriminate you. It is illegal to
commit any same sex act in Nigeria since 1901. If you are prosecuted of
homosexuality and found guilty, then you can face up to 14 years in prison. It
was a bill signed into law by the previous president Good Luck Jonathan despite
serious external pressure from west for same sex marriage or anti-gay bill to
be stopped.
In
the north of Nigeria under sharia law anyone found guilty of committing
homosexual sexual acts can be stone to death.
This
incidence which took place on the 23rd of March 2015, the assistant
inspector general of police in charge of the zone, AIG Musa Daura who announced
the arrest said the suspected homosexuals were arrested while acting on
credible information.
He
gave the names of the suspects as Orie Lucky &Abel Conscience according to
him, he said two of the suspects were apprehended in the school, Ika Grammar
School In Delta State, Ika North East of the Local Government.
The
AIG claimed that the suspects have confessed to be homosexuals and have had sex
with each other on several occasions able conscience was 17years while Lucky Orie
was 19years according to the AIG. They were caught by their school teacher, both
of them were roommates.
According
to their school teacher who caught them in the act, he said they hardly come to
school so he informed their parents who stay in the village. Their parents
pleaded that the class teacher should find out while they don’t come to school.
Their parents asked their school teacher to take them as his own younger brother,
so because of that he visited them after some weeks that was the day he found
them in that unholy act. So he reported them to us at the station, before the police
came many people came to see what was happening, the principal the parents were
also invited they were tortured seriously.
At
the station able Constance was under age so he was granted bail while Orie Lucky
was locked up.
Since
able was under age accordingly to the AIG we will hand him over to the
community for further disciplinarian actions.
The
unfortunate thing was the father of able conscience was the chief priest so he
knows what follow next his son must be sacrifice to the Gods but able conscience
was fortunate because a family friend told Ables mother about the community
next move so he gave his son money to run to his uncles house in Kano,
according to an eye witness who said that her name should not be mentioned.
Able
was also caught in that act in France Road In Kano presently the Emire Of Kano
the obi of Owa kingdom and the community are all looking for him, the uncle
that call was not happy because of what able did.
According
to one human rights activates at the scene who spoke to no strings, he said
that the victims were beaten seriously by the mobs who claimed that they were
homosexuals. He said they shown their no mercy at all. Even those that asked
them to stop beating them was also mob that very day this is obviously not the
1st time that these kinds of things are happening in the country
where suspected IGBT persons are trapped and severely beaten. The AIG made it
clear that anybody that will give them information that will lead to the arrest
of able conscience will be rewarded the Emire Of Kano, the Obi of Owa Kingdom,
in Delta State, the community and different vigilante groups are all seriously
looking for able conscience anybody with any useful information about him
should inform any of the above body.
