From The Initiative For Equal Rights (TIERs)
If you haven’t already read this, here’s a note of caution that TIERs passed across in a Facebook post earlier today. Read below.

Hello Friends/ Family
Over the weekend three members of the community were arrested in Lagos, and in the process of securing their release at the police station, we discovered that the police are very well informed about online dating/hookups.
While we have resolved the case, we are aware that some of the police men have registered on the different social site mentioned by the boys and are already chatting with community members and planning to meet.
We kindly suggest that everyone should be careful on how they meet on social site like Grindr, Gaydar, Manjam etc and if possible, check with friends about who they are meeting before meeting.
Regards.

July 27, 18:08damn. They’re relentless. These homophobes with their “gay hunt”. smh
Pink Panther
July 27, 18:41It’s not a small thing o. Gay hunt is the appropriate term for it. This vindictive tenacious persecution of Nigerian gay men, even in their habitat is simply appalling.

July 27, 18:57@PP: Nna are we safe? This wan you’re standing in for Max today.
Chuck
July 27, 18:58You have to understand that these men feel homosexuality is a crime worse than theft, rape, or even murder.

July 27, 18:10Ghen Ghen…
But I no go mind being shagged by a police man or better still a Soldier. Being handcuffed to the bed and getting beat up with the baton….
Arrest me baby…I have been a very very very naughty boy. I promise not to do it again.
Una don hear? Think with your head and not with your dick.

yinkss
July 27, 18:35I’m not a blackmailer oo. Why would you say that? I’m just a stupid guy in love with a guy that doesn’t even know I exist. Simple
Pink Panther
July 27, 18:39Yinkss, please kindly stop with this slobbering. We get it. You have the hots for Korede Bello. He’s not here though. Now please if you won’t contribute to the updates, perhaps you’d like to stay silent.

July 27, 19:38Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!
Anyways, I have always hooked up in Naija through recommendation. Even though there is a risk of kiss and tell, it is way better that being lynched.
Max

July 27, 23:14Hectic day.
Now I am worried oo … Those weird chats on grindr in Lagos …. Hmmmmmmm!
kacee
July 28, 07:40Smh, na wa o this mallam and his thugs should mind their business, when it comes to privacy the least they should do is back the hell off.
Django
July 28, 07:59I’m way to busy to be meeting people anyway and way to paranoid to even think twice about hookups. I just got out of a kito-situation and survived, still get paranoid like crazy but recovering slowly with each passing day.
Pink Panther
July 28, 08:30Care to share the kito situation? 🙂
Chuck
July 28, 12:17why doesn’t TIER tell the story of this arrest so people know what to expect?
Pink Panther
July 28, 15:25True. @Chuck
Mitch
July 28, 11:06Funny! The Nigerian law enforcement has always known about gay hook-up sites. It’s been on for long. Like virtually every student in UNN doesn’t know about or visit KD! It’s not a new thing. Let’s just tread carefully. That way, we’ll stay safe

July 28, 11:16odikwa egwu… Kedu ife ndia cholu ka anyi mee now?? They should tell straight guys to stop taking pussys before coming to tell me that i have no right to ride on that huge dick i desire… Akuko!… Love my carefulness though…
Sisqo
July 28, 22:01I think the real word here is extreme care and caution. For me I don’t do hook-ups except I have known all there is to be known. And I also think why most of us fall into this setups is because we think with our dickson and not our heading. Sex isn’t and should never always be the apex of a friendship.
