He went on to say they deserved to be arrested because there’s an existing law prohibiting men from marrying each other in Nigeria.
He further urged gays in Nigeria who intend to tie the knot to relocate to other places where such is acceptable.
Taking to his social media page, Bobrisky wrote: “Hey guys, I want to quickly address those set of guys who were arrested in Delta. You see this class is not actually meant for everyone. But I strongly believe you can learn from those Alist.
“Firstly, there’s a law passed against you guys that you can’t marry yourself in this country. Why the hell did you all call yourself together to organize a wedding? You all deserve how you were treated,” he said.
“If you feel you are in love with your partner and you want to be together why not relocate to where you are welcome?”
