Last year, BBC Africa Eye documentary Kito: Blackmailing LGBT Nigeria shone a light on crimes perpetuated against the country's LGBTQ+ community, as criminals use people's sexual identities to blackmail them.
These criminals are called kito, a Nigerian term for a person who pretends to be queer on social media and dating apps to entrap LGBTQ+ people.
He was ordered to pay one million naira (about £580) before being set free. He could only afford 150,000 naira (£88), but his friends managed to find an extra 350,000 naira (about £205) to secure his release.
In response, victims use online forums such as the Kito Diaries to screen dates ahead of any meeting.
