According to the 40-year-old actor, gay people also have rights which should not be trampled upon by the society and judgement should be left to God.

He added that it’s better for them to be convicted over a crime, not homosexuality.
Yul wrote,
“Stoning a man to death bcos he’s gay is wrong. Totally wrong.
I’m not gay, I don’t plan to be but gay people are human beings too and should have rights.
I heard the judgement was passed in Bauchi.
How can you kill a human being bcos he’s gay?
It’s wrong.
Condemn him if he engages in criminal activities. Condemn him if he’s a rapist.
If not, leave Judgement for God.”
