  According to Vanguard Newspapers,  it was with disbelief that residents of Iguosa community in

 Ovia North East Local Government Council of Edo State ran to an uncompleted building in the 

area to see an 18-year-old boy, simply identified as Ighodaro, making love to a dog.

Curiously, the dog was said to have enjoyed the sex beforethe crowd stormed the scene. Ighodaro

 was in JSS 2 beforehe dropped out from school, due to the inability of his poor parents to pay his 

school fees.

He learnt welding, but, while doing that, he became a lover of dogs.  He confessed to Sunday 

Vanguard that he has slept with different dogs five times until this last episode. It was learnt that a 

member of the community was passing by the uncompleted building when he sighted the boy

 making love to the dog and raised the alarm that attracted the villagers.

Mr George Ogbonmwa, owner of the dog, expressed  shock at the incident, explaining that when he

 saw the young man with the dog, he did not know he had an ulterior motive.  “I thought he wanted to

 play with the dog only for him to end up in an  uncompleted building where he had canal knowledge

 of the dog.

This is like another dream to me because I have not seen this kind of thing in my life before”. 

Following what the villagers described as an abomination, the Odionwere (head)of the community,

 Elder Clifford Igiehon, was invited to the scene and expressed shock over the incident which he 

described as a taboo.

He said,”We have never seen this kind of thing beforein this  community. This is an abominable act

 and we don’t want the suspect to come and corrupt other people here.   What he committed was a

taboo. We will call the parents to come and atone the gods but the boy will go on his own, because 

we cannot kill him.

But we have killed the dog because that is the first thing to do. And because we don’t want this kind

of taboo to happen again, we decided to hand the boy over to the police. This kind of thing has 

never happened before, the boy has to face the music. The parents will perform traditional rites, it is

 going to cost about a hundred thousand Naira.

The boy knows what he is doing, he is not mad. We know him from the beginning, he was in school 

before he went to learn welding; may be the parents could not pay his school fees. We were even 

shocked he said he has had sex with dogs five times; that will tell you he knows what he is doing”.

The community leaders further used the opportunity to appeal to the police: “Give us more 

policemen in our area because a lot of evil things are happening now. Like what the boy did is a 

taboo and they must cleanse the land with the appropriate sacrifice. We need the police to be 

around us so that these evil happenings will stop”.

The suspect, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard at the Edo State Police Command Headquarters, 

Benin-City, said he did not know what was wrong with him, admitting that he enjoyed sex with five 

dogs while two bit him during the act.  “I learnt welding around Iheya. I don’t know when I slept with

 the dog, I slept with dogs five times. Some of the dogs  bit me, I have been bitten two times and 

each time I have a dog bite my grand father will treat me”, he said.

Asked about the tactics he deployed to attract the dogs, Ighodaro stated: “When I call them, I will 

be rubbing their head, petting them so that they will feel freewith me. I will be playing with them 

and they will follow me. They will bark at me some times, and when I notice that it is serious I will 

leave them. Any one that is friendly with me, I take that one to an uncompleted building and have 

sex”.

The suspect who was asked about his girl friend, said he broke up with her last year and started 

making love to dogs this year. His words: “ I had a girlfriend last year but we are no longer together. 

I started sleeping with dogs this year around March. I don’t know what is wrong with me.

None of my relations knows I sleep with dogs. In this particular case, the dog is very familiar with me

; so it was easy to lure it away. While I was having sex with the dog, one man saw me and ran to info

rm the Odionwere. They now came to pick me and they asked the police to go and check me and 

see if I have any disease. I don’t know what is wrong with me”.
