    The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kwara State Command, has arrested a 45-year-old vehicle spare part dealer, Alhaji Ganiyu Kehinde, for allegedly engaging in acts of homosexuality and the defilement of two teenage boys in lpata-Oloje area of Ilorin.

    According to the Command’s spokesman, ASC 1 Ayoola Michael Shola, the incident was reported at the Gender Unit of the Command on the 14th of April, 2025, by the parents of the victims and concerned members of the community, who alleged that the suspect had been involved in repeated homosexual acts with two teenage boys (names withheld), aged 15 and 19.

    Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect lured the victims with monetary gifts, giving them ₦500 on separate occasions after having carnal knowledge with them.

    The victims further disclosed that the suspect sexually assaulted them through anal intercourse multiple times, both at his residence and in an uncompleted building located in Oko-Olowo area, Ilorin.

    The victims are currently undergoing medical and psychological assessments to support their recovery and the ongoing investigation.

    While the suspect denied all allegations of sexual penetration, he admitted allowing the boys to sleep on his chest, describing the interaction as harmless.

    The suspect, the statement added, would be charged to court upon completion of the ongoing investigation, in accordance with legal provisions.

    The Kwara NSCDC boss, Dr Umar JG Mohammed emphasised that sexual abuse, particularly against minors, is a grievous offence and a direct attack on the moral fabric of the society, adding that “we are determined to ensure that justice is served, and that perpetrators of such heinous crimes are brought to book”.

    He reaffirmed the commitment of the NSCDC to protecting the rights and safety of children, youth, and other vulnerable groups in the society.
