Two men, who allegedly had anal sex inside a jeep, were on Tuesday
docked at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court. The accused – Innocent Egbuna,
33, and Jide Ajayi, 21 – are being tried for a three-count charge
bordering on conspiracy and act of gross indecency. Egbuna, who claimed
to be a soldier, lives at No. 22, Support Regiment, Ijebu-Ode in Ogun,
while Ajayi, an unemployed, is a resident of No.
28, Owoduni St.,
Onipanu on Ikorodu Expressway.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Joseph Ajebe, told the court that the offences
were committed on Jan. 18 at Ajao Road, Ikeja. According to him, the
accused were caught by an anti-crime patrol team at Ikeja. “The accused
were found inside a parked Nissan Jeep with registration no. KSF 914 AC
having anal sexual intercourse.
“Ajayi said Egbuna accosted him and told him to have sex with him,
promising to give substantial amount of money and that he will also take
him to the club to have a nice time. “Ajayi agreed because he was
frustrated and did not have money to fend for himself,” Ajebe said. The
offences contravened Sections 136, 166 and 409 of the Criminal Law of
Lagos State, 2011.
Section 136 provides three years for act of gross indecency, while
Section 166 prescribes a N15, 000 fine or imprisonment for three months
for disorderly act. Section 409 stipulates a two-year jail term for
conspiracy. The accused, however, pleaded not guilty. Ruling on the bail
application of the accused, the Chief Magistrate, Mr Alexander
Komolafe, granted the two men bail in the sum of N100,000 each with two
sureties each in like sum. Further hearing in the case has been
adjourned to Mar. 7.
