Two men were
arrested and forced to pose naked after they were caught having sex in a Ghana
hotel.
According to
reports in local media, two men aged 18 and 28 were arrested over the incident in
a Accra hotel.
The pair were
discovered by a receptionist who reportedly barged into their private hotel
room after growing “suspicious” of the two men.
The police were
subsequently called over the incident, according to GhanaWeb, and the the pair
were arrested.
It appears that
the men were forced to pose naked together in a bid to publicly humiliate them,
with photos of the incident spreading across social media in the country.
A local
newspaper, the Daily Guide, published a picture of the pair.
A video was
also shared on Facebook in the which the naked men are yelled at. It is
unclear who filmed the clip.
The Daily
Guide’s article reported the incident with the headline “Man bonks [high
school] boy in hotel”, claiming the older man had “lured” him for sex, despite
the incident being consensual and both participants being over 18.
The article
claimed: “The man is a known gay activist, who lures young boys with money. He
reportedly met the boy on Facebook and managed to lure him by offering juicy
gifts to him.”
Male same-sex
sexual acts are illegal in Ghana, and can lead to up to 3 years in prison.
There is also a strong social taboo against gay people.
Mallam Abass
Mahmud claimed God “gets annoyed when males engage in sexual encounters, and
such disgusting encounters causes earthquakes.”
A leading
spiritualist in the country also claimed tattoos can
influence people to become gay prostitutes.
