Gay group in zaria, nigeria

Nigerian police say they have arrested 53 young men who celebrated a gay wedding and charged them with "belonging to a gang of unlawful society. Prosecuting officer Mannir Nasir told a court on Wednesday that the young men were arrested Saturday in the northern city of Zaria while attending a party organized for two men who got married last week. While Nigerian law bans gay marriage, some couples conduct informal ceremonies. Maria Sjodin, deputy executive director of LGBTQ advocacy group OutRight Action International , said she believes the gay wedding story is just an "excuse" and part of the police's attempt to "crackdown on an emerging LGBTQ movement" in Nigeria.

Much of northern Nigeria is governed by Islamic law, or Sharia. Prosecutors in the northern Nigeria state of Kaduna have charged a group of 53 people with conspiring to celebrate a gay wedding. The accused, arrested last Saturday, have denied the allegations, with their lawyers saying they were illegally detained. The court released the group on bail and the case was remanded to 8 May.

The prosecutor, Sgt. Mannir Nasir said the accused were arrested on April 15 at Zaria Motel and were being charged for conspiracy, unlawful assembly and belonging to a gang of an unlawful society. The accused persons, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges, and their counsel, Yunusa Umar asked the court to release them on bail in line with sections 35 4 and 36 5 of the Constitution. Umar lamented that the accused persons were detained in police custody for more than 24 hours contrary to the provisions of section of CPC.
