The source said that the student, Derrick Boadi Sakyi, has been a homophobe for some time, and this can be seen on his social media account, specifically Twitter.
He recently began a criticism on Papa Kojo, a gay rights advocate from Ghana.
In order to find out who he was dealing with, Papa Kojo decided to look up Derrick's profile. He discovered that Derrick had just begun his PhD degree in Biological Science at Ohio University in the United States.
A brief search revealed that Derrick was receiving a scholarship for first-generation college students, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, persons from the Global South, and people with impairments.
Upon observing this, he informed the scholarship secretariat of Derrick's actions, providing documentation to support his accusations, and this led to the scholarship being revoked.
He posted: “One guy sent me death threats and I just checked his profile. He’s been inciting hate for years…in one of his most recent tweet, he confessed setting up gay men to be beaten and blackmailed and said if Ama allows him to correctively rape her, he’ll get get her to the bar.
“I’ve found his name and details on LinkedIn and he moved to the US two weeks ago to start a PhD in Ohio. I want everyone to hold on tight because this TL is about to get bloody messy af in the coming days. ?,”
