Two serving members of the National
Youth Service Corps, O’tega Daniel, 27,
and Sulaimon Abari, 26, were arraigned
on Monday in an Ibadan Chief
Magistrates’ Court sitting at Iyaganku for
engaging in homosexual practices with a
pupil.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that
Abari, a graduate of the Lagos State
University, Ojo, and O’tega, were
performing the national service at St.
Louis Secondary School 2, Molete, Ibadan.
The duo were arraigned on a three-count
charge of conspiracy, procuring as well as
getting hold of their victim.
The prosecutor, Inspector Olufemi
Eyiaromi, told the court that the two
accused persons conspired to commit the
offence.
Eyiaromi alleged that Daniel procured and
got hold of the male pupil, took him into
a room, laid him on a bed, caressed him
and orally sucked his manhood until the
minor released sperm.
He also alleged that Abari committed the
same offence on the victim.
The offence was said to have been
committed sometime in November 2013
at Osungbade, Odo-Oba area of Ibadan.
Eyiaromi said the offences contravened
sections 217 and 516 (A) of the Criminal
Code Cap.38, Vol.II, Laws of Oyo State,
2000.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty
to the charges.
Chief Magistrate Kehinde Durosaro-Tijani
granted each accused bail in the sum of
N100,000 with one blood relation as
surety.
She also directed that the surety must
present three years tax clearance
certificate while each accused person
must present his original certificate as
part of the bail condition.
