A Nigerian man reportedly living in Ontario, Canada, has spoken publicly about his bisexuality during a Pride event in Toronto in June 2026, according to an account circulating about the incident.

The man was identified in the account as Balogun Azeez Abiodun, who was reportedly seen wearing rainbow-coloured clothing and participating in the event.

The account further claims that Azeez became the subject of controversy earlier in 2026 following allegations concerning same-sex relationships involving another man, identified as Kunle Onikan.

It alleges that Kunle was apprehended during an encounter with a third man, identified as Dayo, and that subsequent investigations uncovered records said to indicate a longstanding relationship between Kunle and Azeez.

The claims, including the allegation that Azeez is a fugitive in Nigeria, could not be independently established from the material provided. They should not be presented as confirmed police findings without corroboration from relevant authorities or reliable documentary evidence.

During the reported interview, Azeez allegedly described himself as bisexual and said he had dated women while also engaging in same-sex relationships.

He reportedly used the interview to call on the Nigerian government to repeal the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act (SSMPA), which was signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan in January 2014.

The law prohibits same-sex marriages and civil unions in Nigeria and prescribes penalties for certain same-sex-related activities and the public registration or support of same-sex relationships.

Azeez also reportedly appealed to Nigerian authorities and family members to show forgiveness and reconsider the treatment of people who face condemnation or persecution over their sexual orientation.

His reported position was that LGBTQ people, including bisexual and homosexual individuals, should be able to express their sexual orientation without discrimination, rejection or punitive treatment.

The account said the video generated reactions from viewers in different parts of the world, with some Nigerians and other Africans reportedly criticising his position, while others expressed more sympathetic views.

The identities of those who reacted, the scale of the response and the circumstances surrounding the alleged earlier incident were not independently verified in the material available.
