Photo: Boy caught having sex with a Dog

A 19-year old boy (name withheld), was Tuesday
arrested at Iguosa, a suburb community in Benin
City, located in Ovia North-East local government
area of Edo State, for allegedly sleeping with a dog.
The teenager who confessed to sleeping with the dog,
said he lives in Uselu area of Benin but often comes
to Iguosa to look for menial jobs. He said the dog
was following him as he moved along the street in
the community and he thereafter took the dog to an
uncompleted building where he had canal knowledge
of the animal.
"I was going on the street and the dog kept following
me and I carried it like a baby and thereafter I took it
to an uncompleted building where I did what I did to
it. It was there that one man came into the building
and arrested me," he said in pidgin English.
A member of the community, George Ogbonwan who
narrated how the suspect was caught, said the culprit
was romancing the dog but he thought he wanted to
steal it, not knowing that the lad had a different
plan.
"When I saw the young man carrying the dog like a
baby, I decided to tell the owner and advised him to
go into the uncompleted building. I told him to go
round the house while I went through the other side
and we saw him having sex with the dog," he said.
Also speaking on the incident, the owner of the dog,
Mr. Garuba Samari, who described the incident as an
abominable act, said the boy should be taken to the
security agents who would decide what to do to him,
adding that, "the dog has to follow him, I have
nothing to do with the dog again."
The Odionwere (head) of Iguosa community, Pa
Clifford Igiehon, described the act as a taboo to the
community. He called for a proper screening of the
young man to ascertain if he is normal.
"It is an abomination against the community. The
young man came from Uselu in Benin City and I
don't know why he decided to commit the act here in
this community and we don't want to see him here
again so that he does not come and spoil our people,"
he said, adding that, the suspect would be handed to
the police for further investigation and to find out if
he has contacted any dicease after sleeping with the
dog.
The secretary of the community, Festus Obadiaru,
who also described the act as a taboo and
unprecedented in the community, said the suspect
would be handed to the police authority for further
investigation.
