Over 100 gay suspects have reportedly been arrested in the South-South state, according to the Delta Police Command.
The command stated that the suspects were apprehended at a suspected gay wedding ceremony in a state hotel in a tweet posted on Tuesday via its Twitter handle.
The leadership said that the suspects would soon be paraded for the whole world to see them.
It reads: “Delta State Command has arrested over a hundred gay suspects in a hotel carrying out a gay wedding ceremony. We will be going live shortly on Facebook to parade the said suspects.”
In 2014, a law prohibiting gay relationships and same-sex marriage was signed by the former governor of the state and former president Goodluck Jonathan.
Anyone found in violation of the law could receive a 14-year prison sentence, according to the law.
