The three men above were stripped naked and allegedly beaten on Monday January 14th, in Ekwe, near Umuka in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State for supposedly being homosexuals.
A group, the Nigeria HIV Info, dedicated to the protection of the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS, sent out a statement alerting people about the incident and condemning the act.
In the statement signed by the group's cordinator, Steve Aborisade, the group said it has "reliably confirmed and authenticated the incident and of the identity of one of the men."
Mr. Aborisade called on security agents to respond to the plight of the men.
"As it is, only the perpetrators and the community can tell the whole world what has become of these men who were seriously beaten up, stripped naked and paraded around the community bounded together like animals on allegation that they were caught having together," Mr. Aborisade said
