The gay suspects who were arrested during a gay wedding ceremony in Ekpan Community, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta state, have been released on bail.
Ochuko Ohimor, counsel to the suspects told NAN that they were admitted to bail with the sum of N500,000 and two sureties each.
Ohimor, said the sureties must reside within the Effurun jurisdiction of the Court, adding that the suspects must sign an undertaking at the State High Court of Justice, Effurun, in Uvwie LGA, where they were earlier arraigned on Sept. 4.
“The suspects were granted bail at a cost of N500,000 and two sureties each. The sureties must reside within the Effurun jurisdiction,” Ohimor told News Agency of Nigeria.
Police prosecutor, Vincent Orarumen, had opposed the bail condition but their lawyer argued otherwise, saying that the alleged crime was not a capital offence.
Recall that the Delta State Police Command arrested over a hundred gay suspects in a hotel carrying out a gay wedding ceremony on August 29. He said, “We will be going live shortly on Facebook to parade the said suspects.”
