KITO. KITO. KITO.
One year ago today, someone I had known for over six months allegedly tried to kidnap and kill me in what I believe was a planned kito attack.
I survived. I fought my way out. I reported him, and he was arrested.
Today, he is no longer in custody, and I fear he is still targeting innocent LGBTQ+ people through dating apps and social media.
His name is Kenneth Handsome Abatai.
If you’re queer in Nigeria, especially if you meet people online, please be careful. These predators build trust over months before they strike.
Please verify who you’re meeting, don’t go alone, tell someone where you’re going, and trust your instincts.
I’m sharing this because I don’t want anyone else to experience what I did.
