The police in Abuja last Saturday
February 6th, disrupted a gay
wedding between the two men
pictured above. The wedding
between Abdul Lawal (right) who
is supposed to be the husband and Umar Tahir (left) the wife,
was supposed to hold at a
popular hotel in Jiwa Community
of Abuja, King’s Land Hotel in
Abuja. Acting on a tip off, the
police laid siege at the venue of the wedding. Guests had already started
arriving the venue of their
wedding which was well
decorated and as soon as the
bride and groom, both from
Kaduna state, arrived the venue, they were immediately arrested
and taken to the Gwagwa Police
Station where they were detained. Eyewitnesses say that other
people, including the sponsors of
the wedding, chairman of the
occasion and the owner of the
hotel were also arrested during
the raid. The sponsors of the marriage
were named as Abubakar Tahir
and Mohammed Sani
