For allegedly sodomising an 11-year-old boy in Lagos, a 31-year-old man, Samson Ndubuisi, has been docked before an Apapa Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.
31-yr-old man arraigned for sexually assaulting 11-yr-old boy in Lagos
A 31-year-old man who takes pleasure in having homosexual sex with young boys has been arrested and charged to court.
The accused who lives at 3/4, Umuaka Close, Ilufe Junction, Alaba Market, Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and sexual assault by penetration for forcefully having anal sex with the boy.
The prosecutor in the case, ASP Soji Ojaokomo, told the court presided over by Magistrate Patrick Adekomaiya, that Ndubuisi lured the boy into his apartment when he went to fetch water and committed the offences on April 12, 2015.
"The complainant said that on that fateful day, he went to fetch water at one Mrs Doris Ezenwa’s company.
He said while he was fetching water, the accused called him and took him to a room where he forcefully had canal knowledge of him through the anus.
The boy said that each time he went to fetch water Ndubuisi would take him to the usual spot and have sex with him.
The complainant also said that the accused also bribed him with N100 each time he slept with him.
The 11-year-old boy said they were caught by two men, who were Ndubuisi’s colleague at the water company.
The boy said the accused threatened to kill him if he dare tell his parents about it."
Ojaokomo said the offences contravened the provision of Sections 259 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011, which prescribes a life imprisonment for sexual assault by penetration. Ndubuisi, however, pleaded not guilty, and the magistrate granted him bail in the sum of N50,000, while the case was till May 28 for trial.
