The proprietor of Leuven Empire Hotel in the Ejigbo area of Lagos, McDonald Okpara, has confessed to sodomising a 16-year-old secondary school boy.
Okpara was recently arrested by operatives of the Zone 2 police command in Lagos over alleged sodomy with two secondary school boys.
The case was blown open when the mother of one of the boys reported the case to the Isheri-Osun police division.
Speaking in a video released by TVC News, Okpara admitted that he had anal sex with the boy but denied taking him to a shrine or using his picture for diabolical purposes.
“I swear with my life that it is only sex that I had with him, and I never used him for money ritual,” he said.
“I swear in the name of my late parents and children.
“I’m telling the truth. Between me and God, it was only sex. I didn’t take the boy to any shrine or to a ritualist. I didn’t do that; I swear to God.”
When asked where he sodomised the boy, Okpara said it was at his residence and not the hotel.
TheNewsMatrics reports that homosexuality is a crime in Nigeria punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment.
The video showed that the hotelier was being questioned by a police officer after he was arrested.
