CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

Police operatives from the Lagos State Command have arrested a 14-year old boy for allegedly engaging two boys aged between 5 and 7 years in anal sex in order to satisfy his sexual desire.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Egundabi Street, Alimosho area of Lagos, where they reside.

The boy is now facing the charge for statutory rape by penetration through the anus which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is found guilty before the Court for the alleged offence.

The Police alleged that the suspect lured the victims, inserted an oily cream to lubricate their anus for easy penetration and thereafter forced his dick into their anus before he was caught in the act.

The alleged dastardly act was reported to the Police in the area; he was arrested and later transferred to the Gender Section of the Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos, for interrogation. 

After thorough interrogation, the suspect was found culpable and subsequently charged before the Ogba Magistrates Court for the alleged offence.

The Court did not take his plea after the prosecutor, Supol Benson 

Emerhi, asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O. Sule-Amzat, ordered the suspect to be remanded in juvenile centre without an option of bail and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP for advice.

The matter was adjoined till 6th April, 2020.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the defendant may be transferred to the High Court if the DPP finds him culpable and recommends that he should be charged for the alleged offence.

The names of both the defendant and the victims are known but withheld in line with P.M.EXPRESS policy on protection of minors.
