British-Nigerian Councillor Chika Amadi Suspended For Homophobic Comments

Evangelical pastor and a Labour Party councillor, Chika Amadi, suspended for making comments many have deemed offensive and homophobic.
The British-Nigerian councillor according to Guardian, reportedly took to her social media handle to share homophobic content and likened Pride marchers to pedophiles, before calling them abnormal.
She tweeted: 
“Walking about naked in front of children is nothing but pedophilia being labelled liberalism.”
 “Evil. If you walk around naked in front of my children for whatever depraved reason, the Consuming Fire God I serve will put you to sudden sleep.”
 “Try me try my God. Walk naked in front of my child, you will know whether you are normal or not.''
Continuing, Amadi also took to her Facebook page to share a post from the Gambian President Adama Barrow saying:


“Homosexuality is anti-humanity. I have never seen a homosexual chicken, or turkey. If you are convicted of homosexuality in this country, there will be no mercy for offenders. We will put you in the female wing of the prison.”
A user in one of her FB post commented: “Vultures will eat their flesh,” to which she replied: “Amen. Thank you for standing with me and others in that circumstance.”

The Labour Party released a statement saying: 
“Chika Amadi has been suspended… pending an investigation.”

They also termed her comments “offensive, distasteful and homophobic.”

The Conservative Party also released a statement, saying: 
“These homophobic comments by a sitting Labour councillor are completely unacceptable and wrong. I urge the Harrow Labour party to withdraw the whip immediately from Councillor Amadi to reflect the seriousness of these statements on her social media.”
