A Kaduna Magistrates’ Court on Thursday remanded to prison custody, a butcher, Adamu Gambo, for alleged sodomy. Gambo, 28, of Nassarawa Road by Cinema, Kaduna, who sales ``suya meat'' in the area, was accused of hypnotising his neighbour, Michael Onunna and had anal sex with him.
Police prosecutor, Insp. Simon Usman said the accused was arraigned on a one count charge of committing an “unnatural offence’’. Usman told the court that Gambo had committed the offence on January 13, 2013 when he gave Onunna sedated `suya meat' which knocked the victim unconscious.
According to the prosecutor, the victim woke up to find that he had been violated by the accused, an offence which contravenes section 284 of the Penal Code.
The plea of Gambo was not taken as the Magistrate, Nasiru Idris said that the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the case. He, however, ordered the accused to be remanded in prison custody pending advice by the state Ministry of Justice.
Idris adjourned the case till March 13, 2013.
