Gay Kito Allegedly Throws Hillary Todson from Building in Port Harcourt — LGBTQ+ Community Demands Justice

Tragic news from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, has shocked the LGBTQ+ community after reports surfaced that Hillary Todson, a young gay man, was allegedly thrown from a multi-storey building by a suspected gay kito in what many describe as a homophobic attack.

According to online reports, Hillary was lured into a meeting under false pretenses by an individual posing as a fellow gay man. What began as a supposed friendly encounter quickly turned violent. Hillary was reportedly tortured and then thrown from a three-storey building, suffering severe spinal injuries and damage to vital organs.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he fought for his life but sadly succumbed to his injuries a few days later.

“Justice for Hillary” — Community Outrage and Calls for Action

The incident has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates across Nigeria and beyond. Gay rights lawyer Jude Macaulay and several activists have taken to social media, calling for justice for Hillary Todson and demanding an immediate investigation into the brutal attack.

The LGBTQ+ community in Nigeria continues to face widespread stigma and violence, with “gay kito” scams — where individuals pose as potential romantic partners to extort or harm gay men — becoming alarmingly common.

“This is not just about Hillary,” one activist shared online. “It’s about every queer person in Nigeria who lives in fear. We demand justice and protection.”

A Growing Call for Safety and Equality

The hashtag #JusticeForHillary has been gaining traction, with advocates urging authorities to find and prosecute those responsible for the attack. Many are also calling for stronger protections and awareness to prevent future acts of violence against members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Hillary Todson’s death serves as a painful reminder of the dangers faced by queer individuals in Nigeria — and the urgent need for societal change, compassion, and accountability.
