No fewer than 67 suspected gays were arrested at the venue of the wedding when a crack team of police operatives stormed the event.

One of the suspects named Abel Daniel ‘m’ aged 23 revealed that while he was under the influence of alcohol, one male suspect who is at large had sex with him through his anus at the hotel.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Wale Abass, stated unequivocally that Delta state is no place for any sort of same-sex relationship; that marriage is valid only when it is contracted between a man and a woman.

He said the prosecution would go in line with Nigeria’s Anti-Gay Law which prohibits same-sex marriage in the country.
