Two suspected gay partners,
Promise Oluwabunkenoye and Kehinde Abiola were yesterday docked before a
Surulere Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
The accused persons, 24-year-old
Oluwabunkenoye, and Abiola, 29, are facing a two-count charge of same-sex,
having sexual intercourse and fighting in the public.
The Police Prosecutor, Sgt.
Anthonia Osayande had earlier told the court that the accused, with others
still at large, committed the offences at City Centre Hotel at Ijeshatedo in
Surulere about 3.00.p.m. on June 1.
The prosecutor explained that the
accused were caught by a police patrol team fighting publicly over non payment
of money for sexual acts.
According to him, while the
police interrogated them, one of the accused confessed to the fact that he was
invited to Romeo and Juliet Hotel located at Ejigbo on May 28 at 5.00 a.m. for
anal sex.
He pointed out that the offences
contravened Sections 54 and 136 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.
However, Chief Magistrate, Mrs.
Ipaye Nwachukwu, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N100,000 each, with
two sureties each in like sum.
She ordered that the accused
should submit their passport-size photographs to the court registrar.
Nwachukwu said one of the
sureties must be a blood relation of the accused, while the other must be a
cleric or a community leader.
She adjourned the case until Aug.
3 for mention.
