Nigerian social media personality and crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has weighed in on the recent arrest of over 100 individuals suspected of being involved in a gay wedding in Delta State. The controversial influencer shared his perspective on the matter, offering his thoughts on the actions of the suspects and the legal implications of their choices.
The incident, which took place at a hotel in Delta State, led to the apprehension of the suspects, who were accused of organizing a gay wedding. The Delta State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrests and paraded the suspects at the police headquarters in Asaba.
Taking to his Instagram page, Bobrisky expressed his criticism of the individuals involved in the alleged gay wedding. He underscored the fact that engaging in same-sex weddings is prohibited by the law in Nigeria and questioned the rationale behind their decision to organize such an event. Bobrisky referred to the incident as one of the “dumbest news” he had come across and suggested that the suspects deserved the treatment they received.
In his statement, Bobrisky addressed the arrested individuals, emphasizing the legal context and implications of their actions. He pointed out that the law in Nigeria explicitly prohibits same-sex marriages, making such ceremonies illegal. He questioned why the individuals would gather to organize a wedding when they were fully aware of the legal restrictions.
Furthermore, Bobrisky highlighted an alternative approach for those who find themselves in similar situations. He encouraged those in same-sex relationships to consider relocating to countries where same-sex marriages are legally recognized and accepted. He posited that if individuals truly loved their partners and wished to be together openly, they should explore options that would allow them to do so without facing legal consequences.
