A Nigerian muslim man has received 20 lashes after an Islamic court in Bauchi State convicted him of homosexual offences.
The convict was among 11 muslims arrested last month for allegedly being homosexuals. The Islamic court also ordered the convict to pay a fine of about $30 (£18). The trial of two other men was adjourned to 23 January, while the fate of the eight other Muslim men arrested on the same charge remains unclear.
