Gay men have been arrested en-masse in the largest city of Nigeria for performing ‘homosexual acts’.

The 42 men, in Lagos, will be forced to appear in court today for their alleged crimes. Police swooped on a hotel in the city and cordoned the site off for an ‘investigation’.

It was reported by Punch newspaper that the men were caught ‘in the act’ at the city’s Vincent Hotel.

A local resident claimed that police arrived at 3.30pm on Saturday.

He said: ‘There have been reports that the hotel harbours homosexuals. They were there this afternoon when policemen struck. About 40 of them were caught in the act.’

Gay men can face 14 years in jails across the African nation.

Support for the legislation remains high because of evangelical Christians in southern Nigeria and Islamists in the North, the BBC claim.

The arrests, which were confirmed by Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer Olarinde Famouse-Cole, are a result of homophobic laws.

‘It is true. About 42 suspected homosexuals were arrested and the hotel has been condoned off while investigation continues,’ the officer said.
