A 37-year-old man, Isah Usman of Angwan Biri, who sells honey in the Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State, North-Central Nigeria has been arrested by the police for forcefully having unnatural carnal knowledge of young boys aged 13, 14 and 15 severally in his room.
The incident, which occurred on 23rd April at about 3:30 p.m., was reported to the Bosso Police Division, where the suspect lured the minors with N500 each and some honey as an inducement to commit the act with them.
Confirming the development, spokesperson of the police, Superintendent Wasi’u Abiodun, in a statement said the victims were taken to Police Clinic, Minna, for medical examination, which confirmed the allegation and indicated penetration, while the suspect also confessed to the act.
The suspect, according to the police, has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, in Minna for further investigation, after which he will be charged to court for prosecution.
Similarly, on the 28th April at about 5:45pm, Abiodun said a report was received at GRA Police Division that on the same date at about 4pm, a 14-year-old boy was seen spending money lavishly and was questioned by his boss, who is a mechanic.
The teenager, upon interrogation, revealed that another 16-year-old usually gives him between N2,000 and N2,500 after performing unnatural sexual acts with him in an uncompleted building around Tayi village.
The suspect was said to have been immediately arrested, and an investigation is ongoing to identify other victims and possible accomplices for interrogation and prosecution.
The police therefore advised parents and uardians to monitor and protect their wards against such unnatural offences to prevent the health implications for the victims.
