*Taboo …gods to be appeased —
Villagers
*Suspects to be charged with
unnatural offence
By Simon Ebegbulem, Benin-City
Amid the fear of the Ebola virus in
the country, it was with disbelief
that residents of Iguosa community
in Ovia North East Local Government
Council of Edo State ran to an
uncompleted building in the area to
see an 18-year-old boy, simply
identified as Ighodaro, making love
to a dog .
Curiously, the dog was said to have
enjoyed the sex before the crowd
stormed the scene. Ighodaro was in
JSS 2 before he dropped out from
school, due to the inability of his
poor parents to pay his school fees.
He learnt welding, but, while doing
that, he became a lover of dogs. He
confessed to Sunday Vanguard that
he has slept with different dogs five
times until this last episode. It was
learnt that a member of the
community was passing by the
uncompleted building when he
sighted the boy making love to the
dog and raised the alarm that
attracted the villagers.
Mr George Ogbonmwa, owner of the
dog, expressed shock at the incident,
explaining that when he saw the
young man with the dog, he did not
know he had an ulterior motive. “I
thought he wanted to play with the
dog only for him to end up in an
uncompleted building where he had
canal knowledge of the dog.
This is like another dream to me
because I have not seen this kind of
thing in my life before”. Following
what the villagers described as an
abomination, the Odionwere (head)
of the community, Elder Clifford
Igiehon, was invited to the scene
and expressed shock over the
incident which he described as a
taboo.
He said,”We have never seen this
kind of thing before in this
community. This is an abominable
act and we don’t want the suspect
to come and corrupt other people
here. What he committed was a
taboo. We will call the parents to
come and atone the gods but the
boy will go on his own, because we
cannot kill him.
But we have killed the dog because
that is the first thing to do. And
because we don’t want this kind of
taboo to happen again, we decided
to hand the boy over to the police.
This kind of thing has never
happened before, the boy has to
face the music. The parents will
perform traditional rites, it is going
to cost about a hundred thousand
Naira.
The boy knows what he is doing, he
is not mad. We know him from the
beginning, he was in school before
he went to learn welding; may be
the parents could not pay his school
fees. We were even shocked he said
he has had sex with dogs five times;
that will tell you he knows what he
is doing”.
The community leaders further used
the opportunity to appeal to the
police: “Give us more policemen in
our area because a lot of evil things
are happening now. Like what the
boy did is a taboo and they must
cleanse the land with the
appropriate sacrifice. We need the
police to be around us so that these
evil happenings will stop”.
The suspect, who spoke to Sunday
Vanguard at the Edo State Police
Command Headquarters, Benin-City,
said he did not know what was
wrong with him, admitting that he
enjoyed sex with five dogs while two
bit him during the act. “I learnt
welding around Iheya. I don’t know
when I slept with the dog, I slept
with dogs five times. Some of the
dogs bit me, I have been bitten two
times and each time I have a dog
bite my grand father will treat me”,
he said.
Asked about the tactics he deployed
to attract the dogs, Ighodaro stated:
“When I call them, I will be rubbing
their head, petting them so that
they will feel free with me. I will be
playing with them and they will
follow me. They will bark at me some
times, and when I notice that it is
serious I will leave them. Any one
that is friendly with me, I take that
one to an uncompleted building and
have sex”.
The suspect who was asked about his
girl friend, said he broke up with her
last year and started making love to
dogs this year. His words: “ I had a
girlfriend last year but we are no
longer together. I started sleeping
with dogs this year around March. I
don’t know what is wrong with me.
None of my relations knows I sleep
with dogs. In this particular case,
the dog is very familiar with me; so
it was easy to lure it away. While I
was having sex with the dog, one
man saw me and ran to inform the
Odionwere. They now came to pick
me and they asked the police to go
and check me and see if I have any
disease. I don’t know what is wrong
with me”.
Edo State Police Commissioner,
Foluso Adebanjo, who reacted to the
incident, narrated: “It was the
people of that community that
arrested the boy and called the
police.
He was taken to Owotubu Division
before he was transferred to the
state Police Command Headquarters.
What he has done is classified
under Unnatural Offences, Section
214 Sub-Section Two which says that
any person who has carnal
knowledge of an animal is guilty of a
felony and he is liable for
imprisonment for 14 years if he is
found guilty. We are going to charge
him to court. You can see that the
guy is not denying anything.
He made a confessional statement
that he has been sleeping with dogs
since March and he has done it five
times. I was very worried because
this is an unnatural offence and it
can bring problem to any
community.
You can imagine a human being
sleeping with a dog what will that
dog produce in some months time; ,
you can see it is a bizarre situation.
The boy looks normal unless if he
has spiritual problem because I
can’t imagine some body sleeping
with a dog.
He said he had a girl friend before;
you can imagine if he decides to
sleep with another woman what he
will give the woman and that is how
they spread diseases particularly
now that we have different diseases,
It is really shocking that we
experience this type of issue every
day in our country. I am very worried
but thank God that the community
people have killed that dog because
they said what the boy committed
was a taboo”.
