Homosexuality: Police Declares Ebomah Sylvester Wanted
A 28year old indigene of Agbor, Ika South LGA, Delta State, Ebomah Sylvester, has been declared wanted.
Sylvester is wanted by the Nigeria Police Force, Delta State Command, for his alleged involvement in homosexuality practice.
This was made known in a publication released from the Police command on January 10, 2014, naming the suspect, Sylvester, who is now at large, wanted.
It was gathered that the suspect committed the offense on Thursday, January 9, 2014, at Ime-Obi, Agbor with his partner identified as Lucky who is presently in police custody.
Homosexual practice, apart from being a taboo in Nigerian culture, is a criminal offense that attracts between 10 to 14 years in prison.
An eyewitness account confirmed that Sylvester and his partner (Lucky) were caught in the act by an elder brother of Lucky identified as Mr. Martins.
He informed that Sylvester narrowly escaped mob action while Lucky got beaten mercilessly before being handed over to the police.
At the time of filling this report, the police are working alongside the local vigilante to fish out Sylvester whose whereabouts are unknown, urging members of the public with useful information that could lead to the arrest of Sylvester, to report to the nearby police station within or outside Delta State.
