LGBT: A local vigilante group killed one lesbian suspect in Delta

-

The men of the local vigilante group in Ekpan, Delta State attacked two lesbian lovers, Joy and Cynthia, on the 30th November and Joy gave up the ghost on the 3rd of December at the hospital due to various degrees of injuries sustained from the incident but Cynthia Tekedor was rescued by the police from the nearby Ekpan police station.

While interviewing, Mrs Ejiroghene Cynthia Tekedor added that, "I and Joy were caught in the act and the vigilante group unleashed their anger on us but all thanks to the police but joy is not lucky as she died in the hospital after three days."

She added that, "my life is at stake from prosecution also the life of my two daughters is at stake, due to the largely welcomed genital mutilation done in my husband hometown, Ogbe Ijoh, which was to take place in April 2024."

She therefore sought assistance from well-meaning Nigerian and international community to help her and rescue her daughters from the abolished FGM exercise.

It was reports that since signing the anti-gay law in 2014, people believed to be homosexuals have been arrested and paraded by security operatives.

In December 2020, the Lagos State Police Command arrested 10 individuals suspected of homosexual activities in a brothel located in the Okota area of the state.

Earlier in 2018, the police in the state paraded 57 men for alleged homosexual activities at Kelly Ann hotel in Egbeda.

In January 2022, eight alleged homosexuals were arrested in a hotel in Isolo, Lagos for alleged gay activities.

In August 29 2023, Delta state police parade over 100 guests at a gay's wedding.

It was reported that the anti-gay law of 2014 stipulates a 14-year prison term for anyone convicted of having sex with members of the same sex.

Bacteria are microscopic organisms found everywhere – in soil, water, plants, animals, and humans. They are classified into two main groups based on the structure of their cell wall: Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This classification is done using a scientific method called Gram staining, which reveals specific characteristics of the bacterial cell wall. What is Gram Staining? Gram staining is a laboratory technique used to identify bacteria by staining their cell walls. The bacteria either appear purple or pink depending on their cell wall structure.
