Same-sex marriage is strictly prohibited in Nigeria – Police

Reminding Nigerians that same-sex marriage is still illegal in the nation, the Nigeria Police Force issued this statement “in response to a recent social media trend where some individuals who identify as queer were visibly encouraging and associating themselves with activities perceived to be unnatural in light of Nigerian laws.”

Adejobi continued by saying that it is critical to comprehend and abide by these regulations since any infraction would result in the appropriate legal action.

In a statement issued today, January 25, the force’s spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that offenses against nature are forbidden by Sections 214 to 217 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act, which is applicable in the Southern States.
