In a press statement released and signed by its members; Salawu K., Anisere A., kehinde A., Orilonise I. A., George U., Olatoyan T., Ogunshowo L., Penu Z. K., Ogunleye A., Adenola B. S., Tobiloba F., Kazeem A. O., Babatunde Ayinde R., it was gathered that the group which had been faced with so much difficulties in the country as a result of harassment, intimidation within the communities and series arrest by the police and security agents around the country, deem it fit to once again speak up to express their feelings towards defending human rights and agitating for freedom of choice to life for all citizen without discrimination of any such, as it concerns the homoséxuality and transgender saga in Nigeria.
Also, the group claimed series of attack on its members and threat of arrest from the Nigerian police. We regret the insensitivity of the country not showing resourceful and meaningful leadership quality in Africa with a commendable practices and respect to its citizenry. Everyone should have the liberty to life and choice of living to enhance development and to promote and acceptability by United Nations on universal declaration for freedom expression and choice for all nationality and and the world at large.
Mention in the report was victimization of its members and leaders of the group being declared wanted by the Police. Amongst many others was the case of one Mr IO. Ibrahim, whom some months ago, his home and family- wife and children, was attacked and raided by unidentified security agents, thugs and still declared wanted by the police.
He is currently living in abroad, with continuous struggling for the emancipation of freedom for human rights and egalitarian societies globally. Also discussed was the dastardly act perpetrated by group of youths for molestation and intimidation of four Nigerians in Ekwe village of Njaba LGA, Imo State. They were attacked, stripped naked and paraded across the cities over accusation of indecency practices- homoséxuality (Nigeria daily news, 16-01-2013 publication)
