According to the recent estimates of Grace Ashi Wende, the executive secretary of Benue state Aids control agency, 0.009 % of Benue population are gay. It means that there are about 400 gay people among 4,500,000 Benue state inhabitants.

The Governor of Benue state Samuel Ortom has expressed his deep concern on that issue, saying that no gay activities in the state would be tolerated.

Samuel Ortom has made this announcement while meeting with the Prelate of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh in Makurdi.

Ortom has told that gay lifestyle is promoted by the Western world and it is alien to the African customs and the church.

He has also assured the public that he is ready to fight corruption in the state with the same willingness he is ready to fight gay activities.

Earlier the Prelate of the Anglican Communion appealed the people of all faiths in Nigeria to unite in the fight against gay culture, appealing to the Benue governor to do everything possible to help in the church’s struggle against gay marriages in Nigeria.

Archbishop Nicholas Okoh is among many people in Africa who strongly oppose to gay people. Bishop Emmanuel Badejo of Oyo, Nigeria, earlier compared gays with drug addicts and terrorists, saying that despite “gay people have a right to be accepted as human beings.”

Nevertheless, “there is a distinguishing factor between human rights and human behaviour. I don’t have to accept homosexual behaviour, just like I don’t have to accept drug addition, robbery, and terrorism.”
