Naij.com learnt that the duo allegedly went away with the company of other gay friends to Lagos state and all efforts to trace them proved abortive.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Akpuna said his problem started when he discovered that his son was involved in homose*xual activities.

According to him, “In March 2013, my son Franklyn Akpuna ran away from home because he was a gay. We were not happy with him.

‘’There was a time I threatened to arrest him with his friends that use to come to my house they were all gay.

‘’Since he ran away from home with some of his friends and changed his phone number I am seriously ill now owing to thinking and I want him to come back home”.

He said: “In my community, they knew him as a gay, they will be referring my father as the father of that gay boy.

‘’He will be coming to our house with his gay friends. My father planned to arrest all of them, but he ran away from home.''
