LGBTQ+ Confessions East Africa@LGBTQ_Confesses
There's a certain guy from my O-Level school. He was my dormitory-mate, and we slept on the same bunk bed. One afternoon, he touched and massaged my genitals until I pulled away. He would often stand uncomfortably close behind me. After our S.1, he was dismissed due to poor academic performance, and we lost contact.
Out of the blue, at the end of last year, I ran into him downtown. He looked disheveled and seemed to be struggling. I greeted him, and he even asked for my contact. We started texting, and he expressed how much he missed me. Now that I’m older and wiser, I understood what he meant. He suggested we meet up, and I agreed.
Last week, I had a week off from work and invited him over. He mentioned he had no transport fare, so I offered to cover it. When he arrived, we talked, and he asked if I was straight. I said no, and he revealed he didn’t have a girlfriend either. Later, he excused himself to buy soda from a nearby kiosk, and I didn’t think much of it. However, he never returned.
It wasn’t until the evening that I realized he had stolen my gadgets and other belongings. I tried calling him, but he had blocked my number. After sending him direct messages, he unblocked me. I demanded he return my items, especially since some belonged to my sister. He responded by telling me to meet him in Wandegeya.
I suggested sending a mutual friend to collect my things, but he refused, insisting I come in person. He claimed he had a cousin at Wandegeya Police Station and threatened to report me for being gay, saying I had questions to answer for inviting him to my house.
Upon further research, I discovered this guy has a history of blackmail and stealing from his victims. He lives in Kikoni and works around Nasser Road. His name is Farid Nkoobe. Please be cautious and selective about who you allow into your life. He even alleged that he recorded me when I admitted I wasn’t straight, thinking I’d be an easy target. But he’s mistaken—I’m not backing down. I still have his texts where he expresses how “horny” he is and insists we meet. Clearly, he’s not the brightest, forgetting the evidence he left behind.
His contact is 0756511195.
