Nigerian gay rights activist Bisi Alimi reacts to the arrest of 57 suspected gay men in Lagos - 57 suspected homosexuals were recently arrested at a party in Lagos - The policemen suspected that the party was an initiation party - Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi, reacted to the development in a Facebook post The Nigerian government has made its stand on homosexuality known, and even stamped a 14-year sentence on whoever has been proven to be gay. This law, however, seems not to be functional going by the large numbers of citizens coming out to be homosexual. The world is a global village and people are getting more aware of their sexual preference and also having sympathy for people with different sexual orientations.

NAIJ.com earlier reported that 57 suspected gay men were recently arrested in Lagos during a party. The party was suspected to be an initiation party, and 57 men were arrested.
