According to reports, the Delta State Police Command arrested 67 people on Tuesday for reportedly holding a same-sex wedding ceremony.
Bobrisky said on his Instagram page that many people had asked for his views on the Delta crossdressers’ arrest.
Speaking about the event, he stated that they deserved to be detained because Nigerian law prohibits men from marrying each other.
“Hey guys, I want to quickly address those set of guys who were arrested in Delta. You see this class is not actually meant for everyone. But I strongly believe you can learn from those Alist.
“Firstly, there’s a law passed against you guys that you can’t marry yourself in this country. Why the hell did you all call yourself together to organize a wedding? You all deserve how you were treated,” he said.
“If you feel you are in love with your partner and you want to be together why not relocate to where you are welcome?”
