There was a major uproar on Twitter this morning following the news that Bobrisky had been arrested. Nigerians threw subs and sewed thread, like this below:
This is so upsetting. As problematic as I find Bobrisky to be, being gay shouldn’t be grounds to arrest anybody.
Nigeria needs to do better. https://t.co/Q20mTbbLWL

Why is it possible for a news site to take pictures of Bobrisky while he’s in police custody even???
This has to be some type of violation. pic.twitter.com/g1cbbELBjc— Kelechi (@kelechnekoff) November 8, 2017
I just want to know what @MBuhari is going to do about this law that is draconian in essence.
What is he going to do about the rampant levels of sex trafficking of Nigerian women to Europe.
What is he going to do about…anything.— Kelechi (@kelechnekoff) November 8, 2017
Wow.
We had maintained in our first thread that there were no details supporting the rumour that Bobrisky was arrested because he came out of the closet. Further reports now confirm this. LIB’s exclusive report states that Bobrisky was actually arrested because of long-standing beef between him and Toyin Lawani, even though she initially had denied any involvement.
Bobrisky states that Toyin claimed he stole her clients and products. So everyone can settle down now:

So Bobrisky was not arrested for being Gay. Toyin Lawani arrested him, claiming he stole her products and clients.
Y'all can drop your bibles now
