A 23-year-old man, Adamu Mohammed, who sodomised six boys in Chanchaga Local Government Area of Niger State said he enjoyed having carnal knowledge of boys because they don’t get pregnant like girls.
Mohammed of Korokpa area of Chanchaga within the Minna metropolis was arrested by the police in the area following a tip off on Friday while he was trying to flee to an unknown destination after discovering that police were on his trail.
According to the state police command, in September, 2018 one Yusuf Buhari, of the same address reported to police that Mohammed lured his son, Luka Jonathan, 10, into his room and had sexual intercourse with him through the anus.
Other victims he had carnal knowledge of include, Safari Aliyu, 12; Patrick Raymond,10; Donald Anthony, 12; Yakubu Aliyu, 11 and Pius Raymond, 10 all of the same address.
In an interview with journalists on Saturday in Minna, Mohammed, who hails from Jigawa State, said he has been involved in the act for the past two years having been without a wife within the period.
He said he resorted to targeting young boys when his girl friend left him, adding that it was better with the boys because it foreclosed incessant cases of pregnancy and abortions.
“My girl friend ditched me long ago and I have trouble getting another one, so I resorted to having sex with teenage boys,” he said.
Explaining further, he said, “I enjoy sleeping with those little boys since I cannot impregnate them, I enjoy doing it from time to time and I find it extremely difficult to discontinue because it has become part of me.”
He said he entices prospective victims with sweets, coke and biscuits after sodomizing them, as gratification.
The Police Public Relations Officer to the Command, DSP Muhammad Abubakar, described the act as disturbing, nasty and dehumanizing.
The spokesman said the matter would be charged to court after investigation.
