"I did it because I don't have a girlfriend" - 20-year-old man who sodomized two boys in Akure

A 20-year-old sales boy has been arrested and paraded after he defiled two underaged boys in Akure, Ondo state.

Ebuka Okafor, who  was caught by a vigilante group  that was about to lynch him at the Oja-Oshodi area of Akure, said that he paid the boys N200 for their silence after having sex with them. He was then handed over to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC

Pedro Awili, State Commandant of the NSCDC, who paraded Okafor before journalists on Thursday, said an old man caught the accused while he was attempting to sleep with one of the boys the second time.

According to Sahara Reporters, Awili disclosed that the boy was about to be lynched by the community before the vigilante group rescued him. He was dragged to the Deji’s palace before he was handed over to the NSCDC for proper investigation.

He said:

Okafor was almost beaten to death before the Deji of Akure intervened and ordered that the boy be brought to the NSCDC office for interrogation.

And during our interrogation with him, the boy confessed to the crime, stating that he defiled the two boys aged 12 and 13 years old. He told us this would not be the first time that he would be sleeping with the two boys."
During interrogation, Okafor confessed to committing sodomy and said he regretted his action. He also disclosed that he had been sleeping with the two boys for the past two months.

"I have been sleeping with them since August and whenever I have intercourse with them, I always give them N200 each. I have only slept with them three times, and the reason I am sleeping with them is that I don’t have a girlfriend and I always feel lonely in the shop always."
