Nigerian actor sentenced to 3months in jail for gay acts.

A 26 year old Nigerian Igbo actor Bestwood Chukuemeka was on Monday sentenced to 3months imprisonment by a Karu court in Abuja for having sexual intercourse with another man.

The convict who resides in Gidan Mangoro, pleaded guilty to having engaged in homosexual acts. He also so said,"i am guilty of the charge against me. I was under the influence of alcohol and i want the court to temper justice with mercy".
The Senior Magistrate, Nafisatu Buba, sentenced him to three-month imprisonment without an option of fine.
“This would serve as warning to other youths who hide under the influence of alcohol to commit crimes,’’ she said.

In November, the Nigerian Senate passed a strict law banning same-sex marriage and public display of affection by gays in Nigeria.
The bill – Same Sex Marriage (prohibition) bill 2011 – prescribes 14-year jail terms for convicted gays in Nigeria.
“Persons who entered into a same sex marriage contract or civil union commits an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years imprisonment,” the new law said.
It added, “Any person, who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organization, or directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationships in Nigeria commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a term of 10-year imprisonment.”

This guy got it good sha.
