The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to suspend the implementation of the Samoa Agreement. A national daily had reported that there were clauses that mandate lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in the $150 billion Samoa Agreement signed by the Nigerian government on 28 June. Based on the story, the Federal Government had resolved to sue Media Trust Limited, publishers of Daily Trust Newspapers over a “misleading” report on the Somoa agreement.
