President Goodluck Signs Same Sex Prohibition Bill Into Law

In spite of protests from some countries, President Goodluck Jonathan has signed Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Bill 2013 into law. Some foreign embassies were shocked by the development leading to ‘curious’ inquiries from the Federal Government.  But despite the inquiries, the Federal Government said there is no going back.

The signed bill says the gays in Nigeria will however risk a 14-year jail term if they do not retrace their steps and renounce such marriage.  Also, any person who operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organizations directly or indirectly will earn 10-year imprisonment. Those who administer witness, abet or aid the solemnization of a same sex marriage are going to bag 10-year jail term.
