Teenager, 20-year-old boy docked for anal sex in Lagos

court-1

A cleaner, Ebere Nwankwo and a housekeeper, Job Martins, who allegedly engaged in sex through the anus, were on Thursday charged before an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.

Nwankwo, 16 and Martins, 20, are facing a two-count charge of stealing and unlawful sexual intercourse.

The accused reside at Goshen Estate, Ikate and Aboki Estate both in Lekki respectively.

The prosecutor Sgt. Ajaga Agboko told the court that the accused committed the offences sometime in August at Aboki Estate in Lekki.

He said Nwankwo had stolen a Zenith Bank Automated Teller Machine Card ‎(ATM) belonging to Martins and had used it to withdraw the sum of N22,000.

Agboko‎ also alleged that Martins in return committed gross indecency with the teenager by engaging in acts of sodomy.

“The accused were caught having anal sex and upon interrogation, Nwankwo explained that Martins, his boyfriend, had forced him to have sex with him because he took his ATM and withdrew the sum of N22,000.”

According to the prosecutor, Nwankwo had promised to pay him back the money when he received his salary, but Martins said he could forgo repayment if Nwankwo agreed to engage in anal sex with him.

The offences contravened the provisions of Sections 136 and 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.

The duo pleaded not guilty.

The court denied them bail as the magistrate said only the High Court could grant them bail.

The Magistrate, Mrs. O. A. Ogunbowale, adjourned the case to Nov. 11 for legal advice from the office of the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
