GIDEON MARIOCHUKWU WANTED FOR GAY PRACTICE
The Ancient Kingdom of Otolokpo in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State has declared the fleeing Gideon Mariochukwu wanted for homosexual practices.
The spokesperson for the Otolokpo community, Mr. Innocent Okechukwu, disclosed that Gideon Mariochukwu is wanted by the community for gay practices, which, according to him, were brought to light by Andrew and Obinna, two sons of his late uncle, Monday Okuku, who came to summon him with the accusation of being responsible for the death of their late father seven years ago.
“Andrew and Obinna have claimed that the lawyer of their late uncle, whose name was not mentioned, called a meeting to read the will of the deceased, which caused serious misunderstanding over Gideon Mariochukwu being a beneficiary.
The duo said, “Our late father’s lawyer disclosed to us that Gideon Mariochukwu is a beneficiary of the will left by our late father before his demise. The lawyer also disclosed to us that he cannot go against the wishes of his deceased client and that our late father confided that for him to die a happy death, a part of his property should be willed to Gideon Mariochukwu in appreciation for not disclosing their homosexual affairs since childhood.
“We have come to Otolokpo to ask Gideon Mariochukwu to appear before the community to firstly swear an oath that he knows nothing about the death of our father seven years ago and that he was not involved in any gay affair with our late father. This is to put to rest any lingering dispute over the sharing of our late father's property of which Gideon Mariochukwu is a beneficiary.
Mr. Okechukwu further stated that the disagreement resulting from the sharing of late Monday Okuku's property between his two sons, Andrew and Obinna, and their cousin brother, Gideon Mariochukwu, was brought to the attention of the community in late August 2023.
He said Gideon Mariochukwu has turned down all their invitations to appear before their ancestral gods for oath-taking to prove his innocence regarding the accusations against him in order to be accepted back into the community.
According to him, “Otolokpo Kingdom has mandated me to speak with the press to make the search for Gideon Mariochukwu known to the public regarding his homosexuality. At first, the Otolokpo community considered the homosexual practice of Gideon Mariochukwu as an accusation from the children of his late uncle, Andrew and Obinna, until the police visited our community in search of him based on a confessional statement from an apprehended Ika-born diehard gay identified as Henry Idegwu at the Benin Airport in Edo State on September 29, 2023, who confessed that Gideon was his gay partner among others.
“In keeping with our customs, Gideon Mariochukwu must be brought to undergo spiritual cleansing to save our community from the wrath of the gods of our land over the sacrilegious act of homosexuality.
Ika Weekly gathered that, following the deadly rituals associated with those who commit homosexual acts in Otolokpo Kingdom, chances of survival are 50/50. Gideon Mariochukwu has gone into hiding and has been declared wanted by the police at the Owa-Oyibu Divisional Headquarters of Ika North East Local Government Area.
