Thirty-year-old
Ibrahim Lawal, who reportedly had anal sex with two boys in Katsina, has been
arrested by the State Police.
The
commercial grinding machine operator who was remanded in the Katsina prison
till April 30, 2018, had on several occasions sexually assaulted the two boys
before he was reported to the police on March 28, 2018, by their parents.
The police
prosecutor, Inspector Sani Ado, who told the court that investigation was still
in progress and sought an adjournment, disclosed that Lawal had admitted to
committing the offences. It was further gathered that the man who operates a
commercial grinding machine at Sarkin Zango Quarters, Bakori, Katsina,
threatened to kill his victims should they tell anyone about the act after
luring them into his shop.
Punch
reported that the accused was charged with ‘unnatural offence and criminal
intimidation,’ which the police said were contrary to sections 284 and 397 of
the Penal Code. Lawal’s plea was however not taken, as the court said it is
only the high court that has jurisdiction to handle the case.
“You were
brought here for cognizance purpose; your case is triable only by the high
court,” the magistrate, Hajia Fadile Dikko, stated.
This is
coming after 43-year-old man alleged to be an ex-convict, Maiwada Ibrahim, of
Lambun Danlawae quarters, Katsina State, was arrested for allegedly engaging in
anal sex with two 15-year-old boys.
One of the boys told his
mother how he was sodomised by the suspect, who in turn informed the father.
The father was said to have reported the incident at the Central Police
Station, Katsina State.
Ibrahim had invited the two
boys to his house, where they all watched pornographic film.
“Having aroused the
victims, the suspect had sex with them through the anus. He gave them N200 each
after the act.
“One of the boys, who was
uncomfortable, informed his mother who reported the incident to his father, who
then lodged a complaint at the police station,” one of the sources said.
