Summary: LGBTQ activist Bisi Alimi is calling for the arrest of a BBNaija housemate who allegedly confessed on live television to setting up gay men for attack and extortion. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Big Brother Naija house is no stranger to drama, but this time, the controversy has spilled far beyond Biggie’s walls and into serious legal territory.
Prominent Nigerian LGBTQ activist and public figure, Bisi Alimi, has raised a loud alarm — demanding the arrest of a BBNaija housemate who he claims made a jaw-dropping confession on live television.
What Exactly Did the Housemate Say?
According to Bisi Alimi, the housemate in question allegedly confessed on live TV to deliberately setting up gay men* — luring them before subjecting them to physical attacks and extortion. For many Nigerians watching, the statement may have slipped by unnoticed during the usual BBNaija banter. But for Alimi, it was anything but ordinary — it was, in his words, a *public confession to criminal activity.
Bisi Alimi’s Reaction
Alimi, who has long been a vocal advocate for the rights of LGBTQ Nigerians despite the country’s strict anti-gay laws, wasted no time calling out the situation. Taking to social media, he made it clear that what the housemate described was not just morally wrong — it was a crime, and one that deserves the full attention of law enforcement.
In Nigeria, extortion and assault are punishable offences under the law, regardless of who the victims are. Alimi’s position is straightforward: a confession is a confession, and it should be treated as such.
Why This Matters Beyond BBNaija
This incident shines a spotlight on a deeply troubling reality faced by many gay men in Nigeria — the targeted “kito” culture, where individuals are deliberately lured and then attacked, blackmailed, or extorted, often with little to no legal recourse for victims.
While public discourse in Nigeria around LGBTQ issues is often polarising, the criminal elements of such actions — assault, extortion, and entrapment — are offences that fall squarely within Nigerian law, and advocates argue they should be prosecuted accordingly.
Social Media Reacts
As expected, Nigerians on social media have been divided. Some have backed Alimi’s call for justice, arguing that crime must be called out regardless of the victim’s identity. Others, reflecting the deeply conservative views prevalent in many parts of the country, have been less sympathetic.
But one thing is certain — this story has got people talking, and it raises important questions about accountability, the law, and what we choose to overlook depending on who the victim is.
