In a statement released by the Divisional Police Public Relations officer of the Agbor Divisional Headquarters, Assistant Superintendent Chikodi Anthony on 8th January 2017, at about 11:30 am, stated that the duo of Prince Fidelis and Osarumwese Agidigbi, were wanted by the Police for allegedly engaging in homosexuality which contravenes the Nigerian law and a taboo to Owa and Agbor kingdoms. He stated that though Prince Fidelis escaped through the window after they were caught by one of the cotenants of the compound were he lives that faithful day, his partner in crime Osarumwese also narrowly escaped on sighting the Police officer who came to arrest him.
In the words of the Assistant Superintendent of Police, "We are out for Prince Fidelis and his partner Osarumwese Agidigbi, we are not going to relent until both of them are apprehended to face the wrath of the law". He enjoined the general public to come forward with any useful information that could lead to the arrest of the culprits, stating that handsome reward awaits any person who provides useful information that may lead to their arrest.
Investigation into the matter revealed that Prince Fidelis and Osarumwese Agidigbi, had for long been involved in homosexuality as gay sex partners before nemesis caught up on them that faithful day.
It was alleged that the intimacy between both men towards each other which was said to be uncommon in a same sex relationship, aroused the suspicion of the neighborhood to ascertain the cause of the unusual bond between them which later proved to be true as nemesis caught up on them.
Speaking with Ika Weekly Newspaper reporters, a neighbour of Prince Fidelis, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed that he and Prince Fidelis, have been living in the same compound as tenants for over two years, but started seeing Osarumwese around the neighborhood about Seven months ago.
In his words, "At first, when he started coming to the neighborhood, everybody thought that they were just friends until we started noticing some strange behaviour between both of them. Most times, if we are outside discussing, once Osarumwese comes, both of them will run inside and in the next few minutes they will start playing, shouting, discussing and laughing aloud, like a male and his girlfriend engaging in foreplay before sexual intercourse, after which they will become silent till an indefinite time; they exhibited some characters that is hitherto, very suspicious of those involved in homosexuality which prompted us to monitor them to ascertain the tie between them, until that faithful day, 8th January 2017, after they had gone inside as usual, leaving the door open. Being anxious to know the bond between the two men, we peeped through the window and discovered that they were naked and then, saw Prince Fidelis, penetrating Osarumwese through the anus. We alerted the neighborhood in order to get them apprehended; but unfortunately Prince Fidelis escaped through the window, as Osarumwese was caught and bounced upon by the angry mob; but when he sighted the presence of the Policeman who was called to arrest him, he used his might to hit the man holding him by the trouser very hard and escaped from the crowd through the whisker".
It was further gathered that a manhunt was placed upon Prince Fidelis, as a result of which he fled Owa and Agbor kingdoms in January 2017, and since then, both him and his gay partner Osarumwese Agidigbi, has not been seen or heard from.
