GAY: ANGRY OTOLOKPO YOUTHS IN SEARCH OF GIDEON MARIOCHUKWU SET HOUSE ABLAZE
After one year of the continued search for the fleeing Gideon Mariochukwu to perform the mandatory ritual for his abominable homosexual practice, the angry youths of Otolokpo Kingdom in Ika North East Local Government Area have set his family home ablaze.
A relative of Mariochukwu’s family from Otolokpo, who requested anonymity for fear of being killed, stated in a chat with Ika Weekly that the burning of the house is a signal that they are running out of patience while waiting for Gideon Mariochukwu to come out from his hiding place.
“Even if it takes decades, Gideon Mariochukwu is wanted dead or alive. Otolokpo Kingdom considers homosexual practice sacrilegious, and those who commit it undergo compulsory deadly cleansing rites to appease the gods of the land and avert the community's wrath.
“Before the fire attack that completely burnt their family home, the immediate family members of Mariochukwu had also fled the community due to the anger of the youths, which may result in killings because of their failure to produce their son and brother, Gideon Mariochukwu, for the ritual cleansing.
“We were born to meet the ritual cleansing associated with the evil of homosexuality, and civilization has not changed the customs of our people regarding it, despite many having died in the process of undergoing the ritual cleansing.”
The source concluded that Gideon Mariochukwu is next to die whenever he surfaces to undergo the ritual, stating that the survival rate is a 50/50 chance.
