Agency Report
Two young men who have taken it upon themselves to rape and murder homosexual people have been arrested in Imo State.
According to reports, the men lured their most recent victim via the social media platform, Facebook.
Kito, aka Utali Ekwensu (the devil’s cane), and his accomplice, Chidi, confessed to the crime and narrated how it happened.
Kito said the deceased, who is from Benue State but lives in Owerri, Imo State, contacted him on Facebook and demanded sex. He accepted and they agreed to meet.
The man also promised to give him N20,000 after their romp. However, Kito had other plans. He said he connived with his friend to steal the N20K from the deceased when he arrives, without rendering the sexual service agreed upon.
When the deceased arrived, Kito asked him for the money but the man said he would only pay after sex. Kito then signalled his accomplice and he came out and forcefully tried to collect the money from the deceased.
The men said that a fight broke out and Kito hit the man with the weapon in his hand, killing him. According to claims, Kito specialized in luring homosexual men, raping them, collecting their money, before killing them.
This act has served as their source of income for several months until their apprehension a couple of days ago. They stated in a video that they are ‘cleansing the society of its vices’.
