Gombe State command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have arrested two persons for allegedly engaging in anal sex between themselves.
Parading the suspects on Tuesday at the state police headquarters before newsmen, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state, Buhari Abdullahi, said the suspected homosexuals are; Hassan Abubakar aged 25 years and Jibrin Ibrahim aged 22 years, residents of Kanbariki quarters in Kumo, Akko local government area of the state.
According to him, they received information from the ward head of the area Abdullahi Sayoji on 11th July, 2024 at 10:40pm adding that their personnel at Akko division rushed to the scene and arrested the suspects.
The PPRO noted that the suspects were exposed following a fight that ensued between them when one of the homosexuals who allegedly had anal sex with the other refused to pay him his ‘contractural fee’ of N15,000.
He said the aggrieved ‘male prostitute’ allegedly snatched the phone of his client for defaulting to pay him for the sex and as a result, they engaged into violent fight with machetes, which attracted the attention of the community members, leading to the revelation about their bone of contention.
“During the course of investigation, suspects have confessed to their crime, where one of the suspects named Jibrin Ibrahim voluntarily stated that the said Hassan Abubakar promised to give him the sum of N15,000 immediately after they finished the act.
“After he succeeded in having anal intercourse with him, then he later denied giving him the money. The suspects will soon be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.”, the PPRO said.
Meanwhile, the dou in an interview with journalists also admitted their offense.
