LAGOS, Oct 27 (Reuters) - A judge in a Nigerian court on
Tuesday threw out a case against 47 men charged with public
displays of affection with members of same sex due to the
failure of prosecutors to appear in court and call witnesses to
complete their case.
The trial, heard in commercial capital Lagos, was widely
seen as a test case for a law that bans same-sex "amorous
relationships". The law carries a jail term of up to 10 years.
