Undergraduate imprisoned for homosexuality with seven-year old boy

For allegedly indulging in homosexuality with a
seven-year old Isaac Chivirter Shamigah, a 20 year
old 300 level Accounting student of Benue State
University, Makurdi, Ortyom Dyorugh has been
thrown behind bars at the Makurdi Medium Security
Prison by a Makurdi Court. Dyorugh who was arraigned before a Chief
Magistrate Court in Makurdi for alleged gross
indecency was said to have forced Shamigah to
commit the act with him at the Judges Quarters
area of Makurdi town where they both lived. According to the First Information Report, FIR,
which was filed by Police Prosecutor, Sergeant
Patrick Sunday, the accused took Shamigah to an
uncompleted building within the vicinity of Judges
Quarters where he forced him into sucking his penis
with the threat to kill him if he refused to do his bidding. The Prosecutor further told the court that the alleged
sucking of Dyorugh’s genital resulted in the release
of sperm into Shamigah’s mouth on three different
occasions after which he reiterated his threat to kill
Shamigah if he revealed the unholy act. The young boy was said to have exhibited strange
behaviors after the act which attracted his parents’
attention and inquisition. After some prompting however, Shamigah opened
up to his parents, narrating his ordeal in the hands
of the under graduate and the threat to his life if he
opened up to anybody. After listening to his son, the boy’s father, Rev
Clement Shamigah reported the matter to the
Criminal Investigation Bureau, CIB of the Benue
State Police Command and Dyorugh was
subsequently arrested. When the case came up under Section 285 of the
Penal Code, Dyorugh denied the allegation. Trial
Chief Magistrate Mrs. Lilian Tsumba directed that
the accused be remanded in prison custody.
