Ihuoma Chiedozie, Enugu
A young man who claimed he was
instructed by an unnamed spiritualist to have anal sex with minors; both
boys and girls, in order to acquire wealth has been arrested by the
police in Enugu.
The suspect, one Esomchi Ojobo, a native
of Enugu-Ezike in Igbo-Eze North Local Government of Enugu State, was
apprehended after raping about 11 minors.
Ojobo was arrested in Opanda, a community in the Uzo-Uwani area of Enugu, on December 11.
Southern City News gathered that Ojobo’s victims, who were not named by the police, were aged 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 11 years.
It was learnt that Ojobo allegedly hypnotised the minors before raping them.
The Spokesman, Enugu State Police
Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the development, said that
upon his arrest, Ojobo confessed that he used a white cloth to
perpetrate the act.
According to Amaraizu, the white cloth
was given to the suspect by an unnamed spiritualist, which he flashes on
the faces of his targets.
He said, “The suspect explained that the
little boy or girl would temporarily lose his or her senses after the
dangling of the cloth on the person’s face and added that the victim
would follow him to wherever he intended to perpetrate the crime.
“He also confessed that he was
instructed to rape the minors through the anus in order to ‘collect
their destinies’, which would in turn translate to immense riches for
him.
“He (suspect) revealed that as soon as
the white cloth is flashed on their (victims’) faces, they will lose
consciousness and follow him to where he will abuse them through the
anus for the purpose of reaping the victim’s destiny, which in turn
boosts the process of his financial acquisition.”
However, Ojobo has not acquired the expected riches before his arrest.
But the suspect said he was yet to complete the ‘process’ as instructed by the spiritualist, before he was arrested.
Amaraizu said, “When asked whether he
had started getting the money, the suspect maintained that he was still
in the process and that the process needed to be completed before he
would start reaping the monetary dividend as instructed.”
Amaraizu said the police had
launched a full scale investigation into Ojobo’s activities, adding that
the suspect had expressed regrets over his actions.
