A middle-aged man in Ebonyi State identified simply as Abraham has been arrested by security operatives for allegedly killing a 10-year-old boy after having anal sex with him so that he would not disclose the incident to anyone.
In a viral video seen by our correspondent, the man was seen confessing to the crime and said he actually killed the boy when he wanted to expose the crime.
The man said he killed the little boy through poison (Sniper) which he bought at Nwezenyi village, Izzi Local Government Area of the state because he was afraid of being exposed.
Jeremiah Obaji who shared the viral video said: “So, this man here who parades as a choirmaster has been devouring a male teenager through the nyash, this hapless boy was entrusted in his care but this beaat took advantage of the poor minor without the knowledge of the mother.
“Story has it that he killed the boy because the boy reported it to someone.
“There’s no punishment that would be enough to avenge the death of the boy.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, told Daily Sun that he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
He, however, promised to investigate it.
