Lagos-based hotelier and Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Leuven Empire Hotel and Suites, Ejigbo, Lagos, simply identified as Macdonald, has admitted sodomising a 16-year-old secondary school student.
The hotelier was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force for alleged sodomy with the two secondary school boys.
Speaking in a viral video, the suspect denied using the boy for rituals but admitted to having sex with him twice.
However, the victim’s father, Edozie Christian maintained that the suspect lured his son and four other teenagers to his hotel, where he sodomised them and warned them that they would die if they revealed the incident to anyone.
The police arrested the suspect after a complaint was made by the father.
Speaking after being arrested in a video on Thursday, the hotelier swore that he did not use the boy for rituals, but he had sex with him twice.
He said, “I swear with my life, that it is only sex that I had with him (Chiagoziem), that I never used him for any ritual. I swear in the name of my late parents that are in the grave, I swear with my children that I never did anything ritual it was just sex.”
He added: “I swear in the name of my late parents and children. I’m telling the truth. Between me and God, it was only sex. I didn’t take the boy to any shrine or to a ritualist. I didn’t do that; I swear to God.”
