Açcording to a statement by the Nigerian Police Force, Edo State Command Public Relations Officer, CSP Samson Osagie, Blessing Omoziel and her friend, Esohe, both lesbians, were caught after serious monitoring, engaging in same sex practice (Lesbianism), an act punishable under the law.
The police statement which was made available to journalists seeks the arrest of Blessing Omoziel. It was gathered that while Blessing Omoziel evaded arrest, Esohe was beaten to coma by residents, which resulted to her untimely death.
Lesbianism is a serious offense in Nigeria and anyone caught indulging in such immoral act will face a jail term of 14years as contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Mr Samson Osagie said that the police will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute Blessing Omoziel, any time she is caught as that will serve as deterrents to all young persons practicing Lesbianism or Gay.
Meanwhile, the Omoziel family of Edo State have said that they have no knowledge on the whereabouts of their daughter, Blessing Omoziel, who ran away from home after her encounter with the residents of the area.
The spoke person of the family, Henry Omoziel told journalists that the family regrets that Blessing Omoziel is a lesbian but, her safety remains very important to them. He therefore advised that Blessing Omoziel should be calm wherever she is and should not return home until everything about the lesbian issue is forgotten.
