An homosexual group known as The Right Defense has expressed its displeasure over the unfair treatment meted out on gay people in Nigeria saying it is a violation of their fundamental human rights.

In a statement released by the group on Tuesday in Ibadan, Oyo state after a meeting of its members, the group said they have been harassed and humiliated in many parts of the country.

“Everyone should have the liberty to life and choice of living as endorsed by the United Nations on universal declaration for freedom of expression and choice for all nationalities,” the group reportedly said.

The statement went further to state a few instances when homosexuals have been victimised in the country saying, “Amongst many others was the case of  Mr I.O. Ibrahim, whose home and family were attacked and raided by unidentified security agents, thugs and still declared wanted by the agents some months ago. He is currently living in abroad and struggling for human rights and egalitarian society globally.”

The group also condemned “the dastardly act perpetrated by group of youths who molested and intimidated four Nigerians in Ekwe village of Njaba LGA, Imo State.”

They were attacked, stripped and paraded across the cities over accusation of indecent practices- homosexuality.

The statement was signed by Salawu K., Anisere A., Kehinde A., Orilonise I. A., George U., Olatoyan T., Ogunshowo L., Penu Z. K., Ogunleye A., Adenola B. S., Tobiloba F., Kazeem A. O. and Babatunde Ayinde R., who are members of the group but do not disclose their full identities.

The group said instead of wasting time and energy on homosexuals, the Nigerian government should rather provide the dividends of democracy and accountability to its citizens.

  1. No, these abominable, demonic possessed group should instead LEAVE AFRICAN SOILS ALONE!
    They can go to Devils’ own Godless lands like Britain where they will be called on red carpet to have poisonous tea with the bloodthirsty queen! They also move to US and contact the president of LGBT mr Obama who’s only achievement is to murder black Africans and inflict further God’s wrath on them through the abominable acts of same-sex!
    Rise up sons and daughter of Africa and offer deliverance help to these lost souls and if they refuse them flush the out of African soil to avoid raging God’s wrath!

  2. I am just wondering why Ynaija” Will use homosexual group” like seriously? What happened to group of people? I am sure you will not tag heterosexual men as group of heterosexual men. Please, show some level of professionalism as required of you

  3. I’m disappointed that you are helping to promote the demonic act of homosexuality by publishing their demonic activities. You should stop promoting them by not reporting any of their demonic acts. If they believe what they are doing is right, let any of them publicly declare himself as a gay

    1. People don’t need to come as gay, as it nit important . Beside no one will come out to say they are heterosexual. Also, until people can speak on sexual orientation issues away from religion and culture, I will ignore u all as u are far from reality and gown in a dress of hypocrisy

  4. They are mainly Yorubas. Why is this so?
