No fewer than 76 suspects have been arrested by men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Gombe State over an attempt to host a same-sex wedding.
Naija News gathered that the Gombe State Command of the NSCDC said the suspects were arrested while its men foiled their plans to hold a same-sex wedding.
The state Public Relations Officer, Buhari Sa’ad, during the parade of the suspects, said 59 out of the 76 were males, and 21 of them had confessed to being homosexuals.
Sa’ad, told pressmen on Sunday, “They were arrested at Duwa Plaza along Bauchi-Gombe Expressway while holding a homosexual birthday, and they had plans to hold a same-sex wedding before our men raided the scene.
“Fifty-nine males were arrested, 21 wilfully confessed to being homosexuals and 17 females present at the scene were also picked.
“They will be charged to court to answer for their crime which is on social vice, a crime in Gombe State.”
Speaking further, the command also disclosed that it arrested three persons involved in illegal mining activities in the Akko Local Government Area of the state.
“My team stormed the site following a tip-off from some concerned citizens. While they were excavating with their excavating machine, we stormed the place, and ironically, they claimed to be the owners of the site, and that they had a licence, but when we checked their documents, we discovered that the approval they had was for Laterite sand which they abandoned for mining coal,” the state Commandant, Mohammed Muazu said.
