The website was attacked on Thursday night; though things were later restored, it remains unknown if it were the officials that took matters in their hands, or the attackers stepped back. Naij.com reminds that, according to the anti-gay bill, recently passed by the National Assembly of Nigeria to the vigorous support of Nigerians, convicted homosexual persons are subject to 14-years imprisonment.
