The Edo State Police Command has arrested a
19-year-old boy in Iguosa community, Ovia
North East Local Government Area, for allegedly
having sex with a dog.
The young man, identified simply as Osagiator,
was said to have taken the dog to an
uncompleted building where he had sex with it.
It was learnt that earlier, the residents had
gathered at the palace of the head of Iguosa
community when the news of the incident spread
within the length and breadth of the area.
A resident in the community, George
Ogbonmwan, while narrating how the teenager
was caught, said he had saw the suspect with
the dog and had thought that he wanted to steal
it.
He added that he decided to call the attention of
the owner, Garuba Samari.
Ogbonmwan said when he and the owner of the
dog traced Osagiator to the uncompleted
building; they were surprised to see the suspect
having sexual intercourse with the dog.
“When I saw the way the young man carried the
dog like a baby, I decided to tell the owner. We
went to the uncompleted building and caught the
boy sleeping with the dog,” he said.
However, the suspect, who claimed that he
resided in Uselu in Benin, said he was a regular
visitor to Iguosa community, where he sought
menial jobs.
He explained that he did not know what came
over him.
He claimed that the dog followed him as he
walked along a street in the community. He
added that he took the animal to the
uncompleted building, but did not know what
made him to have sexual intercourse with it.
He said, “I was walking along the street. I saw a
dog following me and I carried it like a baby. I
just went into the uncompleted building where I
did what I did to it. I don’t know what came over
me.”
Samari, who quickly disowned his pet, insisted
that the boy should be handed over to the police
to decide what to do with him.
“The dog has to follow him. I have nothing to do
with the dog again,” Samari added.
The Odionwere of the community, Pa Clifford
Igiehon, and the scribe, Festus Obadiaru,
described the act as an abomination. They
added that the suspect had been handed over to
the police.
Igiehon said, “It is an abomination against the
community. The young man came from Uselu
community in Benin City. I don’t know why he
decided to commit the act here in the
community. We don’t want to see him here
again.”
The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer,
Noble Uwoh, said the suspect had been arrested
and taken to the state police headquarters for
further investigation.
He added that the dog had since been killed by
the community.
“The boy has been arrested and transferred to
the state headquarters for further investigation.
The community killed the dog because the people
said that it was an abomination,” Uwoh said.
