A forty-year-old man identified as Stephen has been rescued by Officers of the Mile 3 Divisional Headquarters of the Nigerian police, Nkpolu from angry mob trying lynch him for allegedly having sex with his gay partner in a public toilet located inside Mile 3 Motor park Diobu, Port Harcourt.
The incident occurred at early hours of Saturday.
Stephen who is a father of one was allegedly caught in the act by the public toilet attendant.
In an interview with our correspondent, Vitalis Andrew, the toilet attendant revealed that Stephen and another man who escaped paid him money to make use of different toilets.
According to him, few minutes later he heard moaning sounds like a man making love to a woman inside one of the toilets which made him climb the wall that separated the two toilets, only to see Stephen having sex with his fellow man.

When contacted, the Spokesperson Rivers State Police Command, SP Nnamdi Omoni told our correspondent that he will get in touch with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the Mile 3 Nkpolu station.
