A 35-year-old man, Ahmed Musa, has revealed he engages in sodomising young boys because he has no money to spend on women.

The Niger State Police arrested Isah, who lives in Sarkin-Pawa in Munya Local Government Area, following a complaint by a man that the suspect lured his eight-year-old cousin into his room to have anal sex with him.

Isah confessed to engaging in anal sex with under-aged boys between eight and ten years.

He said he lures his victims with sweets, coke, and biscuits after the act of sodomy in order to keep them quiet and have not made any of them tell their parents about the act.

He confessed that he had been involved in the act for the past three years, adding that he was involved in the act because he did not have money to give to girlfriends and meet their huge demand.

“I resorted to the act because I do not have money to give to women after sex and they are not willing to give it to me free of charge hence I resorted to having sex with under-aged boys in my area,” he said.

“My girlfriends and I separated long ago because I do not give them money after sex, they deserted me, saying that they will not give it to me for free.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar who paraded the suspect on Tuesday urged parents to instill confidence in their children and educate them on the dangers of submitting themselves to such dehumanizing act.

“We need to build the confidence of the children so that they can tell their parents anything or any challenge they are facing at any time. It is unfortunate and sad that a child will face such a situation without telling his parents”.
