"Nigeria Releases 69 Arrested in Alleged Gay Wedding on Bail"

A court in Nigeria has granted bail to 69 individuals who were arrested in connection with an alleged gay wedding, which is illegal in the country. Homosexuality is generally seen as immoral in Nigeria, and the country implemented an anti-gay law in 2014. The suspects were released on bail after posting 500,000 naira ($645) each and are required to sign a register at the court once a month until their next hearing. The anti-gay law in Nigeria carries a prison term of up to 14 years for those convicted.
