Police in Lagos arrest two teenage boys for homosexual act

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two teenage boys, Gideon Harrison, 19, and Ifeanyi Ezeorji, 14, for allegedly having sex with each other in the Ikotun area of Lagos. (street where it allegedly happened above)

According to Punch, the boys were arrested on October 23 by the Ikotun Police Division after they allegedly had sex with each other through the anus, an act known as sodomy. Lol. So the police saw them having sex or they picked them up based on hearsay? Continue...

The latter is the case. According to the report, a man named Toheeb Adekunle, who stays on Muka Street, Ijegun Road and works inside the Ikotun Motor Park, claimed he caught the two boys in the act. He then reported the matter to the police, who then picked up the boys. The boys are now at the State Criminal Investigations Department, Yaba. The police is planning to charge them to court and the crime carries about 7 to 14 years. But arresting them based on hearsay is not cool. Except maybe if there's a video?

The 14 year old boy's mother denied that her son indulged in the act, telling Punch
"My son is just 14 years old. He does not do such things. He is not even mature yet. He takes his bath outside, some times in the presence of his sisters to tell you that he is young. His father had died in September this year, and we have yet to bury him. The family is still grieving him. All I know is that there is no truth in the allegation.
“I don’t know about the other man. I have not even met him. On the day of the alleged incident, my son had strolled to the motor park, and there was a street fight. My son then told me later on that he was simply watching the fight, and he had been arrested by the police.”

    1. Exactly, police can't be everywhere if u see a crime then you report it, that's how it works it now depends on d lawyer to defend dem.

    2. So anybody can just claim to see anybody else having gay sex and the person will be arrested and charged to court? This is what I feared when this law was passed, if you offend someone one way or the other, they can simply set you up by claiming to have seen you having gay sex and you'll be doing 14 yrs straight! For all we know, the 14yr old might not know anything about things; the older boy might have offended or stepped on that man's toe somehow and he wanted to punish him but just needed an accomplice to make his story look credible so he chose the 14yr old, a poor son of a widow. And for the anon talking about lawyer, how can a poor widow afford a lawyer at all, talk less of a good one? For all those supporting this stupid law, you're the ones a pity the most; especially those of you without connections. Because if any of those politicians/lawmakers' and their families get caught, they will hush it all up or at worst pay a good lawyer to get them out of the mess, but if an average nigerian should even get falsely accused of anything; there'll be no way out for them, no excess money, no looted funds, no financial support and they and their families'll be instantly stigmatized for something they didn't even do! #smh...........

    4. Accusations without proof is merely hearsay! Which way Nigeria? The blood of the innocent youve shed is killing ur country. And when our supposedly educated youths think like this...then the country is hopeless.

    1. Law 101 - presumption of innocence until proven otherwise in a court of law (even if there is a video). On that basis, naming and shaming them is poor journalism. More so when you have a 14 year old involved! Shame on you Linda and the Punch newspaper. Lucky it ain't a member of my family 'coz i'd have sued you...and the Punch and all other bad journalists like you!

  18. Av thought about this! Infact these boys need to be arrested before they spoil other kids around their neighborhood. The mother defending her boy should be ashamed of having such as a son. Meanwhile, what kind of enjoyment does these homo gets from the anus when there is a better part in their opposite counterpart to be enjoyed when u re of age? Abomination!!!!

  43. Well, very disgusting. The man that caught the boys should be interrogated..was he the only one that saw them? When he saw them what was the first action he took? The boys should be interrogated aswell without intimidation..before such an act, there must have been a relationship between the two boys.This should be analysed. If found guilty then they need couselling and prayers not jail term because Sodomy is demonic and only prayers and love from above delivers individuals from it. You are not dealing with a physical being. If these kids are sent to Jail, it gets worse there.God bless us all with his wisdom and understanding.

  44. Tope Ajao, hearsay is when someone tells you something which you did not see with your own eyes. Right now, the police are acting on hearsay. I don't even understand Nigerian law again sef. If these boys go to jail, then there is something wrong. They cannot be convicted based on what someone claimed to have seen. For all you know, the man might have misunderstood the situation. If there is no proof, it never happened and they boys should be freed. So many things need to be changed in the Nigerian system. Can't wait to finish uni and come back home yo. Change is coming my people.

  45. Calm down people. Do you realize the other boy is only 14 years old (Underage). Now I might not be conversant on the Nigerian law, but surely this should be a case of child abuse against a minor. Good day

  48. I dont like this, what if the young boy was being raped and molested? So now we are telling pedophiles to make their victims coverup and hide the truth for fear of 14 years. The same way young girls can be victimized is the same way young boys can be suffering in silence. Nigeria! Dont raise a generation of victims please.

  49. Investigations should be carried out not just on hearsay or caught in the act. Signs of Penetrations should be checked.

  56. I cannot believe half of you disgustingly ignorant people. To stand up boldly and say that a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD should be JAILED for having sex is nothing short of abominable. Where is your humanity? You're not even suggesting rehabilitation to help curb the act. At 14, he will be 28 when he is released. Do you know what it means to lose 14 years of your life at such a young age? I can understand arresting the 19 year old, but 14?! May the God you hold so dear show you the nature of your wicked hearts.

  57. This is foolishness they caught them in act on Oct23 n they are bringing up issue on 10 of Nov I believe what d mother say may be they ask Dem to pay n the family of the bois does nt turn up so dey decided to lie against dem Niger police na longtrought abina foolish ppl free d the boiiiiiisssss ooooo they do NTT even if they do is there life so far is not rapeing its pleture bad belle homophobic ppl let them be am not a gay but I love them they are the best ppl ever let them live

  58. I wud say it, and I am saying it again, most of u here are wicked and foolish, that's a Nigerian factor, gay or no gay, only the poor people and in a poor locations all this things are happening, u foolish people should come to Ikoyi and see how rich gay kids are having gay sex in the pool at night, party base on boy meet boy, meet girls fun every where. It a shame that unducated police in Nigeria should have known that a 14yrs old or 19 is a questionable age, no rich perants can take such shit from the police when there's no solid backup to proof that the boys where having sex.
