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.

“Acting on intelligence gathered, the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Aliyu Shaba, raided Teebolus Hotel off Refinery Road Ekpan Warri where some suspected gay members were reportedly holding a gay marriage ceremony.

“As the operatives arrived at the said hotel, the gay members immediately took to flight, scampering in different directions. The policemen chased and arrested a total number of 67 suspects both male and female for allegedly conducting and attending a same-sex wedding ceremony.

“The venue of the illicit event was searched, and the following items were recovered at the scene: one codeine bottle, three cups of refined Canadian loud, five sachets of SK, one sachet of tramadol, four tablets of molly drug, one crusher, gay marriage ceremonial dresses.

“The suspects and exhibits are in custody and efforts are intensified to ensure the arrest of the fleeing members for possible prosecution.
