A video has emerged which purportedly shows two ‘gay’ Nigerian men being beaten to death with sticks and wooden planks as a crowd watches on. The horrific video shows police and religious leaders as the scene as the mob shouts “homo” and “abnormal”, although the shouting may have been edited in. Gay Star News reports that from the Swahili language used, it appears the video was filmed in Nigeria. It says mob shouts, in words that could have been added later or recorded live, include Homo!’ and ‘Abnormal!’ It’s not clear whether the video is recent and Gay Star News has contacted several activists in Nigeria and Africa who have been unable to verify the incident portrayed in the video. It says its investigation cannot prove or verify any of the facts claimed in other misleading reports.
