A tense situation was reported in Ikosi Ketu, Lagos State, Nigeria, on May 1, 2017, following an incident linked to allegations involving LGBTQ individuals within the community.
According to accounts from the scene, Hon. Akeem Babatunde Adeyemi, popularly known as Irewolede, was present during the development and later expressed strong opposition to lesbianism, stating that such behaviour is not accepted within the community.
The remarks, which have since circulated locally, reflected deep social and cultural divisions on the issue.
Community members were said to have reacted in different ways as the situation unfolded, leading to heightened tension in the area.
In the aftermath, a man reportedly fled the scene as the situation escalated, though full details surrounding his departure remain unclear at the time of reporting.
Authorities and community leaders have not issued an official statement regarding the incident as of press time.
