Asaba, Delta State - Four male National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members were arraigned at an Asaba Magistrates Court for engaging in homosexual activities.
Three of the accused persons (names witheld) are graduates of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, while one is a graduate of Abia State University. They have been carrying out their primary assignment at a co-educational school along Nnebisi road, Asaba.
The four were arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy, procuring and getting hold of their victim, an underage male.
According to the prosecutor, after taking hold of their victim two weeks ago, the four accused persons took him into a room and performed an act of oral sex until the minor ejaculated.
The prosecutor who said the offence was committed two weeks ago said it contravened Section 217 and 516 of the Criminal Code and Volume II Laws of Delta State, 2009.
On Jan. 7, 2014 President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act. The act prohibits people from entering into same-sex marriages and prescribes a 14-year jail sentence for offenders. It also prescribes a 10-year jail sentence for any person "who registers, operates (supports) or participates in gay clubs, societies and organizations directly or indirectly, makes a public show of a same-sex amorous."
