for allegedly engaging in lesbianism According to
reports on Information NG, the suspects were caught while indulging in the unholy act in a beer parlour
belonging to one of them. Reliably gathered that
members of the homosexuality and lesbianism
family in the state have started mobilising lawyers to
make sure that the two ladies and their other
members currently in police net are not sent to jail. It was further gathered that the lesbianism family are
now mobilising funds from their members in other
parts of the state ahead of their legal expenses. Our

a bill prohibiting gay and lesbianism. One of the
suspects who was interviewed, confessed to the
crime, saying it was the handiwork of the devil. She
said "Please, one of my sisters is staying in her shop at Ochanga Market in Onitsha, and I don't
have her phone number off head. Please help me
beg the police to allow me call her. I will never live in
such dirty life again" She pleaded When contacted,
Divisional Police Officer, DPO Mr. Isah Mohammed
confirmed the story insisting that the matter must go to court. Mohammed however, advised any
interested persons to go and wait for the police in the
Court, adding that it is where they "can seek for the
bail of the accused dirty ladies for their alleged
actions." According to the Nigeria's anti-gay law,
the suspects risk 14 years jail term each if convicted.
