46 People to be Arraigned For Alleged Homosexual on November 22
The Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed November 22, 2019 for the
arraignment of 46 persons charged with homosexuality by the police.
The defendants were said to have been arrested in August at a hotel in Egbeda.
The police brought them to court on Tuesday for arraignment. But Justice Rilwan Aikawa said his courtroom was too small for the arraignment of the 46 defendants.
The judge said he would have to adjourn the arraignment while he looked for a bigger courtroom where the arraignment could take place.
“We cannot have 57 persons in this court. We have to look for a day we can use Court 2, so it can be convenient for all,” the judge said and adjourned till November 22.
