Kotodayo community in Ota, Ogun State, western Nigeria was filled with commotion Thursday morning as a young man, simply identified as Sadiq was beaten to a pulp on allegations of being gay.
The morning incident happened at 1 Kotodayo in the Iyana-Iyesi area of Ota after Sadiq’s friend, Ibrahim (surname withheld), allegedly raised the alarm declaring that his male organ had disappeared.
Ibrahim, who was seen naked before some men, said Sadiq had paid him a visit last night and deep into the night, he began to have sex with him.
On arrival at the scene, reporters found Ibrahim’s penis at normal size. He was however trying to make it turgid as a proof that it was fully restored.
According to Ibrahim, who is also a squatter in the house, it was the first time Sadiq would be visiting him.
Though they have been friends for some time now, Ibrahim said he never knew his friend was gay until last night.
He denied snatching his friend’s male organ, but said he had engaged only men in sex since then and further indicted a prophet whose white garment church is within the community as the one who prepared the concoction with which he engages in the act.
However, the prophet, who was invited by the vigilantes, denied the allegation.
He said he had known Sadiq as one who never chased after women and did not know that the man was gay.
According to neighbours, the owner of the one-room apartment where the incident occurred lives and works in Lagos and only visits the place at weekends.
Sadiq was later whisked away by the vigilantes after much plea to stop beating him was rebuffed by the people of the area.
