AKURE: Boy, 20, lures 2 teenage boys with N200 to engage in sodomy
A young man accused of sodomizing two teenage boys had been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ondo.
The suspect, 20-year-old Ebuka Okafor, was allegedly caught in the act with his victims, aged 12 and 13 years.
The NSCDC commandant in the state, Pedro Awili, said Okafor’s cover was blown when he attempted to sleep with one of the victims a second time.
He said the vigilantes who apprehended the suspect dragged him to the palace of Deji of Akure, before he was handed over to law enforcers.
“Okafor was almost beaten to death when the Deji of Akure intervened and ordered that he should be taken to the office of NSCDC for interrogation. He has confessed to the crime of defiling two young boys of 12 years and 13 years,” Awili said on Thursday.
“This is not the first time he has been sleeping with the two boys because Okafor and the victims have confirmed the crime.”
Okafor claimed he committed the act because he had no girlfriend.
“I have been sleeping with them since August and whenever I have intercourse with them I always give them N200 each. I only slept with them three times,” he said.
“The reason why I am sleeping with them is that I don’t have a girlfriend and I feel lonely in the shop always.”
