The Bauchi State Shariah Commission has summoned Dr. Abdallah Gadon-Ƙaya, a well-known Islamic cleric from Kano, following his claims about a suspected gay and lesbian event in Bauchi.

WikkiTimes reports that in a video circulating on social media, Dr. Gadon-Ƙaya alleged that a group of gays and lesbians from across northern Nigeria gathered at an undisclosed hotel in Bauchi for a 10-day orientation.

He claimed that the group paid approximately N100,000,000 for the venue.
