The trial of 47 Nigerian men, charged with public displays of affection with members of the same sex, was delayed for a third time after a lead witness did not appear
LAGOS - A closely-watched trial of 47 Nigerian men charged with public displays of affection with members of the same sex, seen as a test of a law criminalizing homosexuality, was delayed for a third time on Wednesday after a lead witness did not appear.
On Tuesday, the prosecution opened its case by producing a police inspector witness who shared only his name, rank and that he knew the defendants from “anti-cultism” work. Police paraded the accused in front of journalists at a press conference held by the state police commissioner the day after the raid.
