Nigeria’s foremost gay Pastor, Reverend Rowland Macaulay has said that the Nigerian President is violating human rights law with the recent passing of the ‘Anti-gay’ bill.
Macaulay, who is the founder and project director of Rainbow Fellowship ministries, wrote Saturday Vanguard a lengthy letter where he aired out his views on the recent development.
‘Since January12th, when the announcement was made, the LGBT-community has been thrown into panic. There is chaos throughout Nigeria as we are grappling with keeping up with mass arbitrary arrest, humiliation, blackmail, extortion and police corruption in several ‘charge and bail’ cases’, Macaulay wrote.
‘The Nigerian President and legislators have ignored the critical aspect of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and passed into law a legislation that is unjust’, he concluded.
Rowland Macaulay is Nigeria’s foremost open gay pastor who relocated to the United Kingdom recently, following allegations his life and that of his church members were being threatened.
