Blackmailer targeted queer Ugandans with impunity, local reports allegeAn alleged serial blackmailer who has been tormenting LGBTQI+ Ugandans online has been arrested by the Ugandan authorities, according to the local LGBTQI media outlet Kuchu Times. Akampurira Najib aka Morris allegedly led a racket of crooks who opened fake accounts on dating sites frequented by LGBTQI+ persons with a sole purpose of blackmailing unsuspecting members of the LGBTQI+ community. According to Kuchu Times, what made Morris particularly dangerous was his network of accomplices, including police officers, boda-boda riders, and community members willing to form mobs. “This system of complicity meant that even when victims managed to involve law enforcement, Morris would often walk free within a day while his victims faced arrest and prosecution,” Kuchu Times reports. Kuchu Times reports that Morris’s arrest comes after a courageous victim reported him to authorities for extortion and blackmail, despite the significant personal risk of outing himself as a queer person.
