Report steams from the north Nigeria inconceivable city of Kano propose that 12 youngsters have been captured for supposedly arranging a gay wedding.
As per the leader of the Islamic law-authorization organization [the Hisbah] Aminu Daurawa, on Tuesday, the associates, most with them youngsters, were confined on Monday at a famous resort on the edge of the city.
"We have 12 men in authority, including the spouse. We captured them at the venue of an arranged gay wedding," Daurawa told AFP.
"We got data of the wedding four days prior and our men stormed the venue while the wedding was going to begin."
Numerous visitors circumvented amid the strike, he included.
However one of the members, 18-year-old Faruk Maiduguri, told journalists at the Hisbah work places that he and his companions were just commending his birthday.
"It was my birthday party, not a gay wedding," he said in tears.
Daurawa further said the suspects, who arrived Kano from the northern urban areas of Maiduguri, Kaduna and Bauchi, and Ibadan and Osogbo in the southwest, "looked and acted ladylike", which incited their capture.
It was not clear whether they would be charged yet their families had been summoned, he included.
Homosexuality is banned under government law in Nigeria, where a year ago new enactment was passed banning same-sex relational unions and the advancement of common unions.
In northern states, where Sharia runs parallel to the state and government equity framework, homosexuality is deserving of death, in spite of the fact that the sentence is infrequently, if at any time, authorized.
