The Canadian government has canceled a planned state visit by
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly in response to his
signing earlier this month of an oppressive anti-gay law, under which
dozens of suspected gay men have been arrested and detained.
The Nigerian Monitor reports:
The nation was expected to receive
Nigeria’s president on a state visit slated for February but is said to
have cancelled the visit in a bid to show its displeasure at the new
law...
...Sources in Abuja told Saharareporters
that the Nigerian Ambassador to Canada, Ojo Madueke, was told to inform
President Jonathan that the state visit to Canada scheduled for February
13 and 14th 2014 has now been canceled.
AHT: I say let him come and arrest him for crimes against humanity
