Police have granted bail to two adult Gambian men accused of engaging in homosexual acts in Old Yundum.

The suspects, aged between 18 and 22, were detained following their arrest by a police patrol team.

Speaking exclusively to Gambiana, Police spokesman ASP Modou Musa Sisawo confirmed their release on bail.

“They have been released on bail,” he said, adding that police are continuing their investigation into the matter.

Under Gambian law, homosexuality remains a criminal offence, punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
