Mass Arrests Made at Nigerian Gay Wedding by Police

Nigerian police raided an alleged gay wedding in the city of Warri, arresting 67 people following a tipoff. Homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria, and a 2014 anti-gay law imposes up to 14 years in prison for those convicted. While cross-dressing is not illegal, it is socially unacceptable. The raid also uncovered an alleged rape incident, with efforts underway to apprehend the suspect. Homosexuality is generally viewed as unacceptable in Africa, and the country's anti-gay law has faced international condemnation.
