Man admits to homosexual charge, bags 9-month jail term

A 35-year-old man, Hashiru Usman, has been sentenced to 9 months imprisonment by a Zuba Grade 1 Area Court in the FCT, Abuja.

Usman was sentenced on Tuesday after he had pleaded guilty having anal sex with a boy.

The prosecutor, Mukadas Maiyaki told the court that on April 4, Usman took the victim to the back of Zuma Rock and forcefully had anal sex with him.

He told the court that Usman, after having himself satisfied with the boy, dropped him off at the spot he picked him and zoomed off.

The prosecutor continued that luck ran out of Usman when he came back later to pick another boy for the same escapade and was apprehended by the police, following the boy’s complaint to security agents.

In his judgement, the presiding judge, Alhassan Kusherki, convicted him on the one-count charge of “unnatural offence”, without an option of fine.

The judge held that “I will not grant you an option of fine because you do not deserve it.

“You only carry the face of a human being but your behaviours are equivalent to those of animals because it is only animals that have sexual copulation through the anus.

“After you have ruin your own life by engaging in such disgusting act, you decided it was not enough for you.

“So you have to ruin the lives of innocent children by abusing and molesting them. It is my utmost hope that you will become a better person at the end of your jail term”.
