Nigeria has an influential Christian
evangelical movement in the south and strong support for Islamic law in the
North both of which oppose homosexuality since Nigeria passed a law
criminalizing same sex marriage and gay organizations in 2013, Law Enforcement Agencies have tracked down people suspected of homosexuality.

| Oseghale Monday |
Gay
people live in fear and cannot openly express their sexual orientation they are
not protected by any law so they face discrimination.
The case of Oseghale Monday is a
serious case because Northern State under sharia Islamic religious law have the
death penalty for people convicted of same sex hence which in other State carry
14 years jail term.
The
Nigeria police public relations officer also stated that members of the public
are advised to help the police with information that will assist them in the
arrest of Oseghale Monday.
Homosexuals whom used to hide their
faces have late become brazen in their acts. Their influence pervades the
public and private sectors in Nigeria.
An investigative report has revealed
the growing trend of homosexual relationship in Kaduna State and the measures
put in place to eradicate the crazy life style.
Alhaji Abubakar Abduallahi,
is not mincing word that he is at war with gays. His mission is to stop such
practice in his domain and he is beating his chest that he has achieved
exactly that:- for me there is no hiding place for those indulging sexual
perversion with the State. The traditional institution and security agencies
are determined to deal with such perverts.
The
Hakimi Jiwa spoke on the heads of the Dec 29 2015 said of the incidence that
took place in the State when Oseghale Monday and John was caught in the
Homosexual act, they were caught by Mondays Boy Peter. According to eye
witness, Mondays boy went to shop and he forgot the store keys he return to
pick the keys he caught his master Oseghale Monday and John in the act. He ran
outside and called people around they came and they were tortured seriously.
According to the police investigation after he said John died because of the
beating while Monday was taking to the hospital under police custody who later
escape from the hospital and the hospital management and the police team are
still looking for till date.
