Police have launched manhunt for a suspected homosexual Pastor, Julius Omotunde of Salem Mountain of Peace Ministry, Atan, in Ado-Odo/Ota local government area of the state for activities which might be unconnected to homosexuality.
According to the spokesperson of the Nigerian Police Force, Omolola Odutola, she said that according to the criminal code act and the same sex marriage (prohibition) act of 2013 which criminalizes homosexuality and other related offences, ‘Ogun state Police formation will stop at nothing to smoke out all perpetrators of this ‘evil acts in the state’.
She said that Ogun state Police Command have launched a manhunt for a 42-Year old Julius Omotunde, who is a Pastor at Salem Mountain of Peace Ministry in Atan, Ota for allegedly committing an offence which is prohibited under the country’s Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act.
Odutola said that luck ran out on Omotunde’s partner, one 38 year old Moses Adejare, who was nabbed alongside one other gay partner, 40 year old Ajayi Gbenga on a CCTV footage mounted at the rest room in one of the popular Lounges in Ota on Friday, 22nd of September.
“We have received intel that a group of young men have been having swell time at a popular Lounge in Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota local government area of the state and according to the information we gathered, their activities may be contravening the same sex prohibition act of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Manager of the Lounge where this act was perpetrated had reported the case at the Obasanjo Police Station in Ota on 22nd of September, 2023 where he alleged that one Moses Adejare, who usually patronize the lounge in company of his friend, Ajayi Gbenga; were caught sharing intimacy at the rest room by the decoy team of the Nigerian Police Force, who were also on an undercover assignment at the club”.
On why the management of the lounge decided to escalate the matter to the Police, Odutola said that a memo had gone to all club and lounge owners in the state frowning at how lounges and clubs have become a hide out for bandits, kidnappers, armed robbers, gay and lesbians and they have been asked to expose such acts that are not lawful to the Police, which failure to comply, would lead to closure of such facility.
Odutola buttressed that Moses confessed to the crime, admitting also that himself, Gbenga and one Julius Omotunde, who is now at large, is also an accomplice and that they have been sharing intimacy as far back as 2004 when they met at the Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State. He also confessed that the spot where they got apprehended is their usual spot and that Julius introduced him to the lounge as a choice place for carrying out their dastardly acts.
The Police Spokesperson assured that the suspects would be arraigned on Monday at the Ota Magistrates’ Court 1. Read More
