The 46 defendants arrested by the Lagos State Police command during an alleged gay initiation rites at a hotel in Egbeda were arraigned at the federal high court in the state on Tuesday November 5, but Justice Rilwan Aikawa said the courtroom was too small for the arraignment of the 46 defendants.
He said he would have to adjourn the arraignment in order to get a bigger courtroom where the proceeding could take place. The case was adjourned till November 22.
