Gay practice: Angry residents set 25 years old man ablaze, as partner narrowly escapes death
By Uche Iweka
It was indeed a sad moment for two gay partners in Agbor, Delta State, Nigeria as angry residents took laws into their hands by attacking them mercilessly. The two gay partners who were identified as, Amuta Chuks and Chilka Ifeanyi were seriously engaged in gay practice until their illicit act was exposed on August 3, 2013., after they were caught by Amuta Chuks uncle and the father of Chika Ifeanyi, Mr Ifeanyi later raised an alarm that attracted residents of the area.
The residents who were not able to control their anger pounced on Amuta Chuks and Chilka Ifeanyi, hitting them repeatedly with sticks and stones. Unfortunately, Chika Ifeanyi, 25 years old artisan was set ablaze in the process while Amuta Chuks who was already injured narrowly escaped from the hands of the angry residents..
Some of the angry residents who spoke in separate interviews with Journalists said that Amuta Chuks and Chilka Ifeanyi have committed an abominable act by engaging themselves in gay practice, noting that they must face the consequence of their actions so as to appease the gods of Agbor Kingdom.
According to the residents, "We will not be alive and watch two brothers destroy our land with their evil gay practice. We don't want evil in our land, gay is evil, we will never allow it to thrive in our land and anyone caught practicing gay in Agbor will be killed. We are happy that we set Chika Ifeanyi ablaze, the same punishment will be given to Amuta Chuks any time we are able to catch him anywhere in Nigeria. We have contacted the police and other security agencies who are now beaming their search lights on Amuta Chuks. Both the Delta State Government and the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are seriously looking for Amuta Chuks and his cohorts. We will not relent until gay practice is completely destroyed in our land".
It could be recalled that the Federal Republic of Nigeria has since condemned gay practice in the country and anyone caught in the act will face a jail sentence of 14 years without any option of fine.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach Amuta Chuks was not successful as his phone line was switched off at the time of writing this report. However, a family member of Amuta Chuks who chose to be anonymous said that his brother has committed a great abomination and should be punished according to the native laws of the land and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He urged him to be careful anywhere he is as the Nigerian government is seriously prepared to arrest and prosecute gays in the country.
When contacted, the Delta State Police Command through its Public Relations Officer, SP Edafe Bright confirmed the gay incident and assured that Amuta Chuks and other men engaging in gay practice in Nigeria will be penalized.
