Undergraduate On Trial For Homosexual

Ortyom Dyorugh, a 20-year-old Accounting
student of Benue State University, Makurdi,
was on Friday remanded in prison for
allegedly indulging in homosexuality with a
seven-year old boy (name withheld).
The 300 level student, who was arraigned before
a Chief Magistrate Court in Makurdi for alleged
gross indecency, was said to have forced the
minor to commit the act with him at the Judges
Quarters area of Makurdi where they both lived.
According to the First Information Report (FIR)
filed by Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Patrick
Sunday, the accused took boy to an uncompleted
building within the vicinity of Judges Quarters
where he forced him to suck his penis
threatening to kill him if he refused to do it.
The Prosecutor further told the court that the
alleged sucking of Dyorugh's genital resulted in
the release of sperm into the boy's mouth on
three different occasions after which he reiterated
his threat to kill him if he revealed the unholy act
to anyone.
The young boy however, was said to have started
exhibiting strange behaviour after the act which
stirred his parents' attention and inquisition.
After much questioning, he opened up to his
parents and told them his ordeal.
The boy's father, a reverend reported the matter
to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, CIB of the
Benue State Police Command and Dyorugh was
subsequently arrested.
When the case came up under Section 285 of the
Penal Code, Dyorugh denied the allegation.
Trial Chief Magistrate Lilian Tsumba directed that
the accused be thrown behind bars at the
Makurdi Medium Security Prison.
