A 22-year-old man, Eji Emmanuel, has been remanded by an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court for the alleged murder of one Chief Sylvanus Okoye, 39.
Emmanuel was said to have stabbed the late Okoye with a kitchen knife in the neck on August 1, 2013, while the deceased allegedly attempted to rape him.
PUNCH Metro had reported on November 27 that the suspect was arrested in Anambra State after police investigations revealed he had fled the scene after the crime was committed.
Emmanuel, a dancer, had said he was lured to Lagos from his village by a friend, Chukwudi, who introduced him to homosexuality.
He had alleged that his friend’s boss raped him twice.
After he had allegedly reported the matter at the police station, he claimed the police turned the case against him and put him in detention.
He had said after the ordeal, he approached late Okoye, whom he considered an Igbo leader in the state, to help him with money to return to Anambra State when Okoye also attempted to rape him.
A scuffle had reportedly ensued between the duo on the night of the incident, before the defendant grabbed a kitchen knife with which he killed late Okoye.
He was reportedly identified by the security man who saw him leave the apartment on the night of the incident.
Emmanuel was arraigned on one count of murder.
The charge read, “That you, Eji Emmanuel, on August 1, 2013 at 3.30am, at 9, Chief Ezemegbu Drive, Ago Okota, Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully kill one Sylvanus Okoye, aged 39 years, by stabbing him on the neck with a kitchen knife and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 221 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria 2011.”
His plea was not taken for the offence.
The prosecutor, Asup Feddy, applied for the remand of the defendant pursuant to Section 264 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Lagos State, 2011.
Feddy said the remand would also help the police get legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
The magistrate, Mr. E.O Ogunkanmi, accepted to remand the defendant in prison for a minimum of 30 days permitted by the law. The matter was adjourned till January 6, 2014.

Ken_Jak: He shouldn't be detained now. After-all,in our country,gay is a sin. So,all gays should even be burnt and slaughtered alive.

Yes, nobody should detain him for killing a gay. Gay should never and will never be tolerated in our society.

He is gay doesn't make him less of an human. He should be purnished

We should not forget that the story says that the late chief molested him sexually. If this fact can be established in court by the defendant, then it is a case of rape or attempted rape. What will happen to the late chief if he had attempted to rape a girl and was caught? Certainlly he would have been jailed by now for that. So let them see the case as sexual molestation, and free the boy.

Eww... All this gay self.. Imagine me.. I come see seun yanch, i come dey trip for am.. I dey craze Tufiakwa!

.

Una no see say the man name na sylvANUS.. How do u expect him not to like ANUS..? Na joke O!

He's gonna kill you next, because he's just a murderer. It's doesn't matter whom he's killing

I can also kill you and when am asked why, I'll just say it's because you were being such a fahggot.

How do you like that for justice?

vicoloni: .

and here comes another werey. Fresh werey

He only needs to get a good lawyer who will establish that he was sexually molested and I think he should be freed on the ground of 'self defence'.

I made first page. All thanks to Buddah.





















Being gay is normal. It we take Nigeria 100 years to realise that.smh

Na wah o! Some people just talk as if killing Is the solution to everything that's not allowed in the country. Mennnn, local Nigerians always fall my hand.

Emmanuel, a dancer, had said he was lured to Lagos from his village by a friend, Chukwudi, who introduced him to homosexuality.
He had alleged that his friend’s boss Molested him twice.

He had said after the ordeal, he approached late Okoye, whom he considered an Igbo leader in the state, to help him with money to return to Anambra State when Okoye also attempted To Molest him.

Why is everyone trying to molest him?

Isn't there something we are supposed to know already?

I will pass... Next!

Dead body nor they talk

Let the prosecutors do their job.

The said defendant (Eji Emmanuel) is in Lagos for which business? "Homosexuality". How come he is being molested by a male chief?

I only guess things went wrong btw Eji & late Okoye. They are business partners.

Have you guys noticed? Almost only people from a particular region of Nigeria are always in this kind of news, have you? It is just an observation anyway, I hope they wont bite me.

Messy thread and trend. God save our little innocent kids, amen.

The poor hardly gets justice in this country. If what the boy said is true, I might do the same thing. I still can't comprehend that some people are homosexuals.
