Investigation into the murder of a gay man in Nigeria

The Issue

Due to the confession tape of two men circulating online over the killing of a gay man in Nigeria. We are calling on the Nigeria police force to investigate this incidence which took place in Anambra state.

Since the criminalization of same-sex relationship in Nigeria, gay people who are good faith citizens of Nigeria have been victims of all manners of abuse which includes but not limited to murder, extortion, discrimination and sexual assault. This needs to stop.

Its time the Nigeria police force shows that it does not enforce/endorse  violence of any kind against lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Nigeria by opening an active investigation on the murder confessed on the tape circulating online. The constitution said "ALL" Nigerians not some Nigerians and Nigerians must feel safe in Nigeria.
