As same sex rule keeps hunting the gay people in Nigeria, 46 year old Nigerian lesbian asylum seeker in the UK,
Adejumoke Apata, says she risks a
death sentence if she is deported to Nigeria.
Ms Apata says she fled Nigeria in 2004 and claims
that her girlfriend who refused to go with her, was
brutally murdered by vigilantes in 2012.
Before she left Nigeria, Adejumoke said she was
subjected to homophobic torture, persecution and a
brutal arrest after she was exposed as a gay woman.
She claims she was also sentenced to death by
stoning for being a lesbian. Continue…
Adejumoke, who is facing deportation, doesn’t want
to be deported and has started a campaign aimed at
persuading people to sign a petition against her
deportation.
“Returning to Nigeria is not an option for me,
because as well as a death sentence hanging over
me, I will face 14 years in prison due to the anti-
gay law that was passed by the Nigerian
Government in January 2014. I want to remain in
the UK in order to contribute positively to the
society and support my girlfriend, who I am now
engaged to,” Adejumoke said in a YouTube video.
