A young man convicted of sodomy by an Islamic Shariah court in northern Nigeria was whipped 20 times on Thursday. 20-year-old Mubarak Ibrahim, an unemployed artisan, pleaded guilty in the city of Bauchi to one act of sodomy carried out seven years ago. He said he was tricked into the act by the principal of the high school he was attending and has not since committed a homosexual act.

Hmmmm
