Undergraduate imprisoned for homosexuality with 7 year old boy

Ortyom Dyorugh, a 20-year-old Accounting student of Benue State University, Makurdi, was on Friday remanded in prison for allegedly indulging in homosexuality with a seven-year old boy (name withheld).
The 300 level student, who was arraigned before a Chief Magistrate Court in Makurdi for alleged gross indecency, was said to have forced the minor to commit the act with him at the Judges Quarters area of Makurdi where they both lived.

According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed by Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Patrick Sunday, the accused took boy to an uncompleted building within the vicinity of Judges Quarters where he forced him to suck his private area threatening to kill him if he refused to do it.



The Prosecutor further told the court that the alleged sucking of Dyorugh’s genital resulted in the release of sperm into the boy’s mouth on three different occasions after which he reiterated his threat to kill him if he revealed the unholy act to anyone.

The young boy however, was said to have started exhibiting strange behaviour after the act which stirred his parents’ attention and inquisition. After much questioning, he opened up to his parents and told them his ordeal. The boy’s father, a reverend reported the matter to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, CIB of the Benue State Police Command and Dyorugh was subsequently arrested. When the case came up under Section 285 of the Penal Code, Dyorugh denied the allegation. Trial Chief Magistrate Lilian Tsumba directed that the accused be thrown behind bars at the Makurdi Medium Security Prison.
