Mass Arrests at Southern Nigerian Gay Wedding: Over 60 Detained

Police in Nigeria have arrested at least 67 people celebrating a gay wedding in the southern Delta state. Homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria, with gay marriage punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The law banning same-sex relationships has faced international criticism, but is supported by many in the conservative country. More than 30 African countries already ban same-sex relationships, and arrests of gay people are common in Nigeria. The suspects will be charged in court after the investigation.
