A gay marriage ceremony was last week disrupted by police in Jiwa, a suburb in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The gay couple was tying the nuptial knot at the popular King's Land Hotel in Jiwa when the police got wind of the event and swooped on the event.
An eyewitness said that guests were already seated awaiting the commencement of the gay marriage when the police arrived and arrested the couple.
The owner of the hotel and other key players at the event were also arrested.
The gay couple was identified as Abdul Lawal and Umar Tahir while Abubakar Tahir and Mohammed Sani were the sponsors.
Under a bill signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan on January 7, 2014, anybody involved in a gay relationship is liable to 14 years imprisonment on conviction.
