The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Zone 2 Police Command, Lagos, Mrs. Dolapo Badmus, has warned all homosexuals in Nigeria to flee the country while they still can, or face the full wrath of the law.

Taking to her Instagram page, the PRO also cautioned that the force will not condone the violation of the Same-Sex Prohibition Act through their activities in the country.

She wrote: “If you are homosexually inclined, Nigeria is not a place for you. There is a law (Same Sex Prohibition Act) here that criminalizes homosexual clubs, associations and organisations with penalties of up to 15 years in jail.

“So, if you are a homosexual in nature, leave the country or face prosecution. But before you say, ‘does this matter?’ Kindly note that anything against the law of the land is criminal and all crimes will be punished accordingly no matter how small you think it is.

“The law says a person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies or organisations, directly or indirectly makes a public show of same-sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of 10 years. Anyone convicted of entering into a same-sex marriage contract or civil union faces up to 14 years imprisonment. All LGBT candidates in Nigeria should beware.”
