The recent passage of the anti-gay bill by the national assembly is unnecessary as same sex marriage has already been declared illegal since 1949 when the marriage act was enacted in the country.
This is the view of a legal practitioner, Mr Chino Obiagwu who also serves as the National Coordinator of Legal Defence and Assistance Project, LEDAP, a non-governmental organisation which champions human rights and the rule of law.
While answering questions from our judiciary correspondent, Shola Soyele, Mr Obiagwu says that the bill is merely an attempt to respond to international pressure on right to sexual orientation.
