Mr. Adedapo Oluwole Arishe, an indigene of Osun State, has been under police investigation since 22 September, 2018 for alleged engagement in bisexual activity, an act prohibited under Section 5(2) of Nigeria’s Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, which carries a possible prison term of up to 14 years.
Arishe was initially arrested and detained for three days before his parents secured his release on bail. He was instructed to report to the police whenever required for further interrogations related to the case.
According to authorities, Arishe cooperated fully during previous questioning sessions but later failed to appear for scheduled interviews, causing an interruption in the investigation.
The police have now officially summoned him to appear for further interrogation on 25th september, 2025. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities stress that it is strictly a fact-finding exercise. Citizens are reminded that full cooperation is expected when summoned.
