In an unexpected move, police in Ghana have arrested two men who targeted gay men they found on Grindr.
The men, Torsu Stephen, 23, and Aikins Atitsogbe, 21, were arrested in the capital Accra after an unnamed victim reported they threatened to post naked photos of him on the internet if he did not pay them 1,000 cedi (£193).
The victim worked with the police to set up a meeting with the blackmailers who were arrested when they showed up for the money.
According to the the Tesano Divisional Police, the two suspects invited the victim to one of their houses on 1 April.
The victim was blackmailed after his release four hours later.
Commenters on the article on GhanaWeb said the victim who reported the crime should also be jailed because he used the gay hookup site Grindr.
