Speaking with newsmen, the prime suspect, Ibrahim, who hails from Kaduna state, alleged that the deceased doctor was gay and wanted to have gay sex with him.
“I used Cutlass to kill him. The doctor is a homosexual. He wanted to force me to have sex, I refused. He held on to my clothes and was trying to remove my clothes. When I refused, he started abusing me.
I later called my friends to the house to come to help me pack my load. The doctor bought a lot of drinks and I became very high. I and my friends then tied the doctor and his friend. When my friends went out of the room, I came back with a Cutlass and macheted doctor because of what he wanted to do to me which I didn’t like.”
When asked how the late doctor tried to force him into homosexual act, Abdusalam who is a Cleaner said:
“He came to my room and asked me to massage him. I told him I can’t do massage. He said he will pay me, that I should name any amount and I refused.”
