Western Region Minister, Paul Evans Aidoo's comment that all homosexuals in Ghana should be arrested has generated a lot of interest in the western media. Aidooo has tasked Ghana’s Bureau of National Investigations and security forces to round up the country’s gay population and has called on landlords and tenants to inform on people they suspect of being homosexuals.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has jumped on the case. GLAAD is the organization that killed Shabba Ranks' career for his homophobic comments
