Nigeria Executing Gays In Bauchi Is Barbaric – Jide Macaulay

Openly gay British-Nigerian pastor, Jide Macaulay has come out to disagree with the death sentence handed to three men found guilty of homosexuality in Bauchi.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the sentence is nothing but barbaric, and he sees it as an abuse of human rights that should never be condoned.

He added that Nigeria shouldn’t be allowing Northern states to execute gays under sharia law.

His words, “This is heartbreaking and the very reason that Pride is a Protest. Killing gay people because of who they love is barbaric and an abuse of human rights. Nigeria allows the Northern states to execute gays under sharia law,”

“We need a new voice of reason to protect the lives of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender citizens in Nigeria. We must seek justice for the lives of these men.”

“Dear @PeterObi & @doyinokupe Queer Nigerians desperately need a change, a government that will deliver on their human rights, end police brutality and decriminalisation of homosexuality. What is your manifesto saying? What can LGBTIQ citizens expect for their vote in 2023,”

“Any sane government will include those who deeply care about the welfare and justice for those most vulnerable. @atiku @PeterObi @Official_ABAT must ensure that human rights for LGBTIQ becomes a reality. Queer Nigerians contribute to society and the economy. We cannot be ignored.”
