A tip-off received by Nigeria's intelligence officers led to police
raiding a suspected gay wedding ceremony on Saturday in the northern
city of Sokoto , a police
spokesman Almustafa Sani has told the BBC Hausa service.
Police
were conducting a thorough investigating with a view to charge the two
people arrested for being involved in "unnatural" conduct, he added.
Other people at the ceremony dispersed when police arrived at the venue, he added.
Mr Sani said homosexuality was illegal under Nigeria's secular constitution, and Islamic law which is applied in Sokoto state.
