DonColz1: 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.

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

solowork:

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?

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

shadydeals: 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.

nouveaux: 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.

Mr Aboki:

Even if it is confirmed that the Chief raped the boy, the circumstances under which the boy killed the chief makes him a murderer..

Plus!! Isnt it silly that u are basing ur judgement on just the testimony of the boy? Have you heard from the deceased?

Remember:

The boy killed the chief.
Locked him in a room
Didnt call for help
Stole the chiefs belongings
Locked him in the house and handed over the key
Then absconded..



When he was caught, he now says the Chief tried to rape him..

besticality: 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'.

Titiluvly:


*bites him* - vomits* Tufiakwa!!..ISI EWU
