DELSU grapples with homosexuals

THERE are indications that some students of Delta State University are grappling with the nefarious activities of homosexuals in their hostels, particularly in Abraka and Ethiope halls.

Although no arrest has been made, the university management has restricted movement at the wee hours to enable it to check the activities of the perpetrators.

It was gathered that in Abraka and Ethiope hostels, activities of the perverts who were not only out for sexual gratification, but also for ritual purposes, were at their peaks during the night.

Some students of the institution, who spoke with Southern City News on condition of anonymity, called on the university authorities to come to their aid before the situation would get out of hand.

While investigation revealed that some persons involved in the act did so willingly, some were allegedly forced into the illicit activities.

An eyewitness said the perpetrators were well coordinated like cultists and in some cases pretended to be worshippers.

He said, “These homosexuals take delight in their illicit act in the early hours of the day when unsuspecting students rush to the bathrooms to take their bath. They are so connected in the university that no one dare report them to the university authorities.”

But the university spokesman, Mr. Edward Agbure, who neither denied nor confirmed the activities of the homosexuals, urged any of the students assaulted by the homosexuals to report the issue to the school authorities for necessary action.

He said, “As an organisation, the university has a channel for making complaints any student who was been assaulted should explore these channel and we will take it from there.”

Further investigation revealed that it might be difficult for the university authorities to uncover those behind the act as they seem to have the backing of some highly placed lecturers and Deans.

But the State Police Commissioner in the state, Mr. Ailkali Baba Usman, said in a telephone interview that divisional police stations in the areas had been directed to spread their investigation with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book.
