Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a gay Pastor, Prince Ezuma Chizemdere, who has been having unprotected anal sex with minors in Lagos State despite being aware he is HIV positive.
Chizemdere, Founder of Jesus Intervention Household Ministry, was arrested by policemen from Ejigbo Police Station following a reported case of defilement of a minor filed by an unnamed Lagosian.
It, however, took the police about two months to arrest the acclaimed pastor as he took to his heels once he became aware he was being sought for.
While the case of defilement was reported on January 22, 2019, the police only got to arrest Chizemdere on March 21, 2019 after serious manhunt.
It was gathered that he was arrested at about 1am on March 21 when the police laid siege to his residence based on the strength of information that he often sneaks into the house through the back entrance.
Indeed, the pastor was said to have hidden in the roof of the house for about two hours before he was smoked out.
Investigation revealed that Chizemdere brought in about 15 boys into his apartment where he forcefully penetrated them all through the anus.
Some residents of the neighbourhood revealed that the Reverend usually washes six bedsheets daily whenever he brings in “the little children, suspected to be his sex partners”.
When interrogated, he confessed that he is HIV positive and has been receiving treatment for over three years.
Ikem Anthony Shedrack, a 16-year-old boy, was one of those Chizemdere was said to have had carnal knowledge of and infected with HIV.
Shedrack was confirmed positive in October 2018.
Chizemdere said he pays the boys N2,000 anytime he sleeps with them.
The spokesman of the Command, DSP Bala Elkana, said the pastor will soon be charged to court.
