Homosexual declared wanted after escaping mob action

The Police in Enugu State have declared one Nwodo Ebuka Innocent wanted over his involvement in homosexual activities.

Ebuka, from Amuri, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State is said to have been reported to the police by members of his community after he escaped mob action.

It was gathered that the culprit, who sources said has been engaging in homosexual practice in the community, was caught red-handed while making love with his partner, identified as Nonso.

A community source hinted that “we have been monitoring his activities for quite a long time. His neighbours always reported that a male partner always visits him and the noise that emanates from the room was suggestive of love making.

“You know such an act is a taboo; so that fateful day, 29th July, 2022, the neighbours observed the same thing and alerted the neighbourhood watch.

“When we got there, we discovered that they were actually making love. So, we forced open the door and swooped on them.

“While the beating was going on, Ebuka managed to escape but his love partner, Nonso, was not that lucky. He was almost at the point of death when he was taken to the police.

“For us in the community, we have disowned and excommunicated Ebuka because what he did is an abomination.

“Sex is supposed to be between a man and a woman and not the other way round. So, he has ceased to be a member of our community, anywhere we see him around the community, he will face our wrath and that of the gods,” a community leader said.

Meanwhile, the Agbani Police Area command in Enugu State confirmed that the suspect, Ebuka, who is still on the run has been declared wanted.

The police further revealed that they have launched a manhunt for the suspect, asking the members of the public to assist it with useful information.

“The said suspect, Mr. Nwodo Ebuka Innocent …….years of age, is wanted by the Police for breaking the law of the country and he is also wanted by the villagers for committing an atrocity that is punishable by death.

“Anybody who knows his whereabouts should assist the police with information,” the police spokesman said.
