The Nigerian Security civil Defence Corps in Ebonyi state have arrested a 17 year old man, Chibuike Maduka, for homosexuality and incest.
Maduka reportedly had been picked up following an anonymous tip which implicated him in rape and sex with male children of his neighbours in the community. Bizarrely, in his confessional statement, he admitted to the crimes but also admitted to sleeping with his mother on more than one occasion.
State Commandant of NSCDC, Mrs. Ego Echendu said, We got a tip-off and sent some of our men to follow up the information concerning an adolescent male who has been in the business of raping children.
“We continued to monitor the suspect and fortunately at about 3 p.m yesterday, our divisional office at Afikpo North Local Government Area was able to locate him and his mother who, we reliably gathered, was also a key player in the son’s sexual escapades.
”The suspect confessed to have been having sexual intercourse with the biological mother and we asked to know when it started and he said last year and also claimed that the mother usually encouraged him to sleep with children of tender ages.
”Because this case involves women and children of these age bracket, we want to transfer this case to the Ministry of Women Affairs in the state for them to take it from there.
“He sleeps with his own biological mother who is in our custody now; and again he also told us that he is a homosexual, he sleeps with other male friends.
“From my analysis, I think he has some sought of brain disorder.”
Chibuike in his own statement said, “I’m here because of my mother. She used me for ritual. I don’t know what I’m doing. If I see a little child I will rape her; this act started in 2008; it is not my fault but that of my mother.
“I have raped my mother and four children. My father is late. I don’t know myself again. I had homosexual activities with one Emmanuel three times at Amangu in Afikpo North Local Government Area.”
His mother denied her son’s allegations saying, “I am 45 years and the mother of Chibuike Maduka. How can I teach my child to rape little children? I’m here because my son raped some children; he is telling a lie, he never had any sexual relationship with me.”
