More Than 60 "Gay Suspects" Detained at Same-Sex Wedding in Nigeria
CBS News ^ | AUGUST 29, 2023

Police in Nigeria said Tuesday they detained at least 67 people celebrating a same-sex wedding in one of their largest mass detentions targeting homosexuality, which is outlawed in the West African country. The "gay suspects" were arrested in southern Delta state's Ekpan town at about 2 a.m. local time on Monday at an event where two people were married, state police spokesman Bright Edafe told reporters.

He said that homosexuality "will never be tolerated" in Nigeria.

Arrests of LGBTQ people are common in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, where people can face up to 14 years in prison under the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act. So-called accomplices face 10 years in prison. Enacted in 2013, the law has been condemned locally and internationally, though it is also supported by many in the country.

Apparently, someone at the party was heard saying “ can I push your stool in?”

Genesis 19:23-28 - New King James Version

23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar.

24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.

25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.

28 Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.

“The “gay suspects” were arrested in southern Delta state’s Ekpan town at about 2 a.m. local time on Monday at an event where two people were married, state police spokesman Bright Edafe told reporters.”

Note how the reporter claims they were ‘married’ when gay marriage is ILLEGAL in Nigeria (and will stay that way if the Neocons get kicked out of Africa).

Warning to gay people. Stay in your lane, keep your head down and your mouth shut. Blend in, don’t make waves.

And for God’s sake, stay away from the children.

Or what’s happening in Nigeria will eventually happen EVERYWHERE.

Nigeria is soon to be an enemy of the deep state.
