Following the recent arrest of some suspected homosexuals in Delta state Nigeria, the police have placed a man hunt on some of their top players in the act.
A police source hinted this platform that one Adeola Olayiwola, James Igwe, among others at large are still on police wanted list as part of the people who play a pivotal role in the act.
It would be recalled that the Delta State Police Command last week Tuesday announced that it arrested over 100 suspected homosexuals carrying out a wedding ceremony in a hotel in Delta state.
In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the state police said it would parade the suspects shortly.
“Delta State Command has arrested over a hundred gay suspects in a hotel carrying out a gay wedding ceremony. We will be going live shortly on Facebook to parade the said suspects.”
Adeola Olayiwola, who was said to be a human rights activist is said to be really involved in LGBTQ activities, and a top member at that.
We can reports authoritatively that since signing the anti-gay law in 2014, people believed to be homosexuals have been arrested and paraded by security operatives, while some have run to avoid the law.
In December 2020, the Lagos State Police Command arrested 10 individuals suspected of homosexual activities in a brothel located in the Okota area of the state.
Earlier in 2018, the police in the state paraded 57 men for alleged homosexual activities at Kelly Ann hotel in Egbeda.
In January 2022, eight alleged homosexuals were arrested in a hotel in Isolo, Lagos for alleged gay activities.
Reports shows that the anti-gay law of 2014 stipulates a 14-year prison term for anyone been convicted or involved in LGBTQ by law.
And the police are doing all within its power to track down the suspected members at large.
