Dear friends I am a 26 year old gay Nigerian but I am discrete and with this I could not live my life freely which makes me live a double life.
I went visit my friend and saw that he was arrested because he was suspected of being a gay and he was attacked by the youth in the area so I fear to stay there because even the police will deal with you if you say you know him.
Now my friend will be release if what we were told is true but now he can't go back to his former home and his job.
please what can be done.
