A hotelier in Meiran, a suburb of Lagos, is on the run after being caught in an alleged homosexual act with another man.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Acting on a tip-off, security operatives raided the hotel and reportedly caught the hotelier in the act.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Nigeria, same-sex relationships are illegal and carry severe penalties under the law. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sources suggest that the hotel, whose name has been withheld, has long been suspected of serving as a refuge for same-sex activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the raid, the hotelier reportedly pleaded with the security operatives to be discreet and promised to cooperate. <\/span><\/p>\n

He requested to be allowed to dress up before accompanying them to Panti, the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as the officers waited in the hotel\u2019s reception, the hotelier managed to escape by scaling the fence, evading arrest. <\/span><\/p>\n

His partner, described as his \u201clover boy,\u201d was apprehended by the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hotel’s manager was also taken into custody, and the premises have since been sealed off as investigations continue.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
