32-year-old man defiles teenage boy, infects him with HIV

A 32-year-old man, Prince Chinecherem, who allegedly defiled 16-year-old boy, has infected him with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner, Lagos State Police Command, Edgal Imohimi, at a news conference on Thursday.

Imohimi said Chinecherem was arrested on Wednesday by policemen attached to Ejigbo Police Divisional Headquarters, led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Olabisi Okuwobi, after neighbours informed them of their suspicion about the suspect and the victim.

Imohimi said Chinecherem and his victim have been taken for medical examination, with the result revealing they are infected with HIV.

The CP said on January 22 in Ejigbo area of Lagos State, the victim was seen sneaking out of the house of the suspect in a rather suspicious manner.

He said: “Curious’ neighbours accosted the victim and asked what he has gone to the suspect’s house to do.

“He could not give satisfactory answer.

“So they asked him to open up the plastic bag in his possession, which contained freshly used condoms filled with semen.

“At this point, the boy revealed that Chinecherem was his lover.

“The matter was immediately reported to the Police at Ejigbo Police State and the said prince was arrested for interrogation.

“After preliminary investigation, the matter was called for further enquiry by the Gender Section of the Command.

“Suspects will be charged to Sexual and Special Offences Court here in Ikeja.”
