The Federal Ministry of Information has announced the restoration of the nation’s national web portal (www.nigeria.gov.ng) after overcoming a group of gay rights activists in a cyber war aimed at criminally imposing gay rights in the country.
The ministry, in a circular issued by the Press Secretary to the Minister, Mr. Joseph Mutah, said additional measures to tackle future attacks by hackers whose criminal activities increasingly spread globally “are presently in place.”
He said: “The attacks are criminal attempt to blackmail countries which have resisted pressures by homosexuals to legalise gay marriages as is practised in some countries to do same. While we recognise that Nigeria is a full-fledged democracy with robust guarantee of freedom of opinion by all citizens, it is criminal for anyone within or outside our country to use criminal means to express or canvass such opinions.”
He advised those seeking to impose gay rights “in Nigeria to stick to legal and constitutional means of expressing such opinions as the government will not condone criminal violations of the nation’s laws by any group in the guise of promoting gay rights.”
