Newera News learnt that Desmond Elliot, a prominent Nigerian actor and politician, has dismissed claims that he is gay, describing them as a publicity stunt. Recently, he has been in the news for denying allegations about his sexual orientation.

The rumours emerged after a blog post named several Nigerian celebrities as being gay.

The list, which included high-profile figures from the country, sparked a strong backlash from netizens.

In an interview with TVC, which went viral on Friday, Elliot addressed the claims, noting that he would not dignify unfounded accusations with a response. Elliot stressed that individuals’ personal choices are their own, as long as they remain within the law.

People are free to think whatever they choose to think, you may not stop them from doing so but you must know who you are, I’m Desmond Elliot! Think whatever you wish. I know I’m straight, fun-loving and a wise married man. I’m not here to banter words with nay-sayers. God created humans male and female. I’m male and interested in loving my wife.
