An homosexual has been nabbed for trying to rape a boy

Owula, a married man with four children, was nabbed by policemen from the Utako Division while trying to forcefully have homosexual sex with the victim, a car washer at the terminus.

According to the victim, Owula had approached him and asked him why he chose to wash the car instead of taking up the unholy affair so that he too could be rich and drive many flashy cars like he does.

Hear what the victim told newsmen:

“I had just bought bread and soft drink for my lunch when he (Owula) approached me and asked me why a fine boy like me would choose to engage in a job like car washing.

I told him that I was with my elder sister who was maltreating me and I had no other place to go than to do this business. That was when he told me that I would be rich if I allowed him to have anal sex with me.

I was scared. I went and told the manager of the park who told me to ignore him. He pleaded that I gave him my phone number which I did based on advice from another colleague of mine and throughout that night, he kept calling me, telling me romantic things."

Uzokwu went further by saying Owula came back the next day with two different bags which he handed to him, pleading with him that he would get more of such nice goodies if he slept with him.

"I went back and informed my manager and other drivers that the man had come back and was pestering my life but they still told me to ignore him. But I was surprised when I thought that he had gone as he showed up in the rest room where I had to ease myself.

I got the shock of my life when Owula grabbed me from behind, used one hand to cover my mouth and at the same time trying to force down my trouser, attempting to rape me.

It was at this point that I raised an alarm and other park workers came to my rescue," the victim narrated.

Reports have it that Owula was almost lynched by the staff of the transport company but for the arrival of the police team that rescued him and whisked him away.
