A judge in Nigerian court has thrown out a case. The case was against a man of 47 years old who is accused of showing public displays of affection with members of the same sex. This has been seen as a break of country’s laws banning homosexual relationships. The Nigerian law bans the gay marriage and attemp will result in 14 years in prison.
Also same-sex “amorous relationships” created a hustle in the minds of people when it came into effect under former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014. Prosecution and defence lawyers in the case said that no one has yet been convicted under the law, which led to the case of the men being widely seen as a test case that could help to establish the burden of proof.
