Blackmail and Extortion in the Increase in the gay community in Ghana

there has been lots of blackmail or extortion cases in the country. Most of the cases of blackmail comes from Accra which is the capital of Ghana. Its is beleived that of of the young guys who engaged in this act are un-enployed and so rely on the "unatural law" in the country criminal code to extort moneys from gay and lesbian people after sexual encounters with them. Some of these guys lures foriegners and even Ghanaians fromother regionals capitals to Accra and then robbed them of their moneys and mobile phones. Some of these gay guys are subjected to severe beatings by these blackmailers and called names such as thief. Foriegners are forced to cash huge sums of moneys from their ATM cards to pay to avoid been reported to the police. All must be careful and people who have experience such act in Ghana must send their expeirence to lgbtghana@gmail.com and if anyone also needs counselling support, let us know through that same emails address.
