A TWENTY-THREE year old push-truck operator has been arrested in Tamale for allegedly having anal sex with a 15-year old boy under the pretence of using his semen to conjure money for his victim.
The young man, Yahaya Adam, was apprehended by the father of the victim with support from other residents who had helped in rescuing the boy.
The Northern Regional Crime Officer, Superintendant Peter Baba, who related the story to the Daily Graphic, indicated that the incident occurred on July 6th at Shishiegu, a suburb of Tamale.
He said on that day, the victim, who resides at Nyohini – also in Tamale – was on his way to visit a friend at Shishiegu and met the suspect on the way.
Supt Baba said the suspect engaged the minor in a conversation and in the process threatened the boy with a charm.
“He later lured the boy into a collapsed building, where he forcibly had anal sex with him and promised to use his semen to conjure money for the boy,” he narrated.
The crime officer mentioned that after the act, the boy realising what he had been through and not convinced about the man’s self-acclaimed magical powers, attempted raising alarm and this angered the suspect, who dished up the boy with some few slaps.
“But that did not prevent the boy from attracting the attention of people nearby and, consequently, a mechanic, identified only as Mr Osman, who was operating around the area, heard the cry and rushed to the scene together with other people,” he further narrated.
The crime officer said after the victim recounted his story to his saviours, they quickly informed his father, who also hurried to the scene, and helped in apprehending the push-cart operator.
“He was brought to us, subsequently. We are now conducting investigations into the matter and when found liable, Yahaya would be charged and arraigned,” he assured.
