Homosexuals Protest over two arrested members in Anambra

ATANI Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ogbaru Council Area of Anambra State, on Wednesday, was disrupted, as suspected members of homosexual family almost stopped court proceedings, following the docking of two of their members for alleged same sex offence.

According to reports, over 50 members of the group from various parts of the state stormed the court premises as early as 9.00 a.m. in solidarity with their two members arrested by the state police command on offence related to same sex violation.

The group, while chanting anti-police and court songs, said they came to express their fundamental human rights and to show solidarity with their members, who were standing trial on some count charge relating to same sex.

They, however, demanded unconditional release of the two, who were charged with two-count charge and said they would continue to fight for their rights, despite the challenges they face in the National Assembly.

However, the two suspects standing trial were later remanded in prison on the grounds that the magistrates’ court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter.
