Bisi Alimi Demands Arrest of BBNaija Housemate Following Alleged 'Kito' Admission

LGBTQ+ activist Bisi Alimi has called for law enforcement to investigate and arrest Big Brother Naija housemate Yusuf following online circulation of a broadcast clip in which the contestant recounted an alleged scheme targeting gay men.

During a broadcasted conversation with fellow contestants, Yusuf reportedly described an instance during the COVID-19 pandemic in which a gay dating application was utilized to lure an individual to a hotel location for the purpose of robbery—a predatory practice commonly referred to as "kito" within Nigeria’s LGBTQ+ community.

The public account prompted Alimi to urge relevant legal authorities to investigate the statement and pursue formal action should the allegations be substantiated. Within the region, "kito" denotes organized predatory ambushes where perpetrators use dating platforms to subject queer individuals to extortion, robbery, physical violence, or public exposure. Victims frequently face barriers to reporting these encounters due to societal stigma and potential legal risks associated with their sexual orientation.

Alimi emphasized that while the televised account alone does not constitute definitive proof of a criminal offense, the explicit statement warrants formal scrutiny to determine whether it reflects personal involvement in illegal activity.

The incident has shifted focus from the show's entertainment dynamic toward public accountability and platform responsibility regarding potential admissions of criminal conduct broadcast on national television.

While online debate continues over whether the statement represents a personal admission, an anecdotal retelling, or a comment requiring further context, the controversy has renewed public focus on the security risks and systemic targeting faced by individuals on digital dating platforms.
