A magistrate in Karu, Abuja sentenced 28-year old actor, Bestwood Chukwuemeka to three-month imprisonment without the option of fine for having sexual intercourse with another man..
When asked about the crime, he initially denied it but later confessed to the crime.
’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’’, he said.
The police prosecutor, Mohammed Umar, had told the court
that the convict committed the offence in August when the complainant was
sleeping in his bed. Homosexual acts, the prosecutor said, was contrary to
Section 284 of the Penal Code.
