Uche Maduagwu, the Nollywood actor who recently came out of the closet as gay has alleged that nearly 40 per cent of current Nigerian lawmakers and over 12 state governors are homosexuals.
The filmmaker also called on Joe Biden, the President of the United States to place sanctions on the Nigerian government over the 2014 anti-gay law which prohibits all forms of gay relationships in the country.
The law signed under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan also prescribes a 14-year jail term for anyone caught in an act of homosexuality.
