“They are criminal and punishable under the law” – Police goes after LGBTQ members in the viral TikTok challenge video
The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has revealed that the police will go after members of the LGBTQ community in Nigeria who in a viral video, openly revealed their sexuality.
While participating in a popular online challenge, the LGBTQ members openly spoke about their sexuality and the misconceptions people have about them.
The video received mixed reactions with some Nigerians asking if the anti-gay law signed by former President Goodluck Jonathan in January 2007 is no longer effective.
This morning, an X user drew Adejobi’s attention to the video and asked if the police will not act on it. Responding, Adejobi pointed that the LGBTQ members are “criminals” and that the police is on the case to take necessary actions.
