Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the federation, Lateef Fagbemi
The Tinubu-led Federal government has reiterated to the international community that it would not accept same-sex marriage.
The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the federation, Lateef Fagbemi, made the position of the government known while speaking at the 45th Universal Periodic Review in Geneva.
He explained that same-sex marriage is inconsistent with the country’s domestic laws, adding that Nigerian laws are a reflection of the sentiment of the Nigerian people.
The declaration is in tangent with a bill prohibiting same-sex marriage in Nigeria, which was signed into law during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The law provides up to fourteen years imprisonment as well as fines for persons who may be found guilty of its provisions.
