Twitter influencer, Daniel Regha joined in questioning the Delta State Police.
He asked, “Until these people are prosecuted, many will continue to emulate. Arresting 100 cross-dressers in Delta is one thing, but why ignore their mentors?”
“Cross-dressing is not a crime”
DSP Bright Edafe provided an explanation stating that the suspects were not arrested for cross-dressing since it is not considered illegal in Nigeria.
He replied, “Daniel, get your facts right, they were not arrested for cross-dressing, they were arrested for conducting and attending a gay wedding ceremony. Bring a part of the law that stipulates punishment for cross-dressing or categorize it as an offense.”
