If report reaching the news desk of CEOAFRICA is anything to go by, then the fact that Africans would not tolerate homosexual action is being re-echoed, as court in Cameroon sentenced a man to two years in jail for committing homosexual act with a minor.

The court also handed down one-year suspended sentence to the teenage minor.

However, the convict, Joseph Ombga, who was also fined $100 (£65), may be released soon because he has been in custody for almost two years. The maximum penalty for homosexual acts in Cameroon is five years in jail.

Ombga was arrested in August 2011 after trying to sell a pornographic video, while the minor was arrested when he went to visit Ombga in detention. He was not held in detention because of his age.
