Man who posed as gay lures a gay man on Facebook then kills him when they met for the first time (swipe) .

Two men have been arrested after they killed a homosexual man who contacted of them via Facebook.

One Kito, aka Utali Ekwensu (the devil's cane), and his accomplice named Chidi were arrested for killing a man. After being interrogated they confessed to the crime and narrated how it happened. .

Kito said the deceased, who is from Benue state but lives in Owerri, contacted him on Facebook and propositioned him for sex. He accepted and they agreed to meet around Kito's location. The man also promised to give Kito 20,000 Naira after their sexual appointment.

However, Kito had other plans. He said he connived with his friends to steal the 20K from the deceased when he arrives, without rendering the sexual service agreed upon. .

When the deceased arrived as planned, Kito asked him for the 20K but the man said he will only pay after their tryst. Kito then signalled his accomplice and he came out and forcefully tried to collect the money from the deceased.
The men said that a fight broke out and Kito hit the man with the weapon in his hand, killing him.

At first, Kito made it sound like he has multiple accomplices but when asked who else was involved in the murder, he said it was only him and Chidi.

Reports claim Kito specializes in luring gay men, raping them, collecting their money, before killing them. A witness claims his friend fortunately escaped from Kito's snare.

Military era better than Nigeria’s current democracy – Senator Smart Adeyemi

Senator Smart Adeyemi representing Kogi West Senatorial District on Wednesday argued that the system of democracy being practiced in Nigeria currently has been criminalized.

He stated this while making contributions to “a bill for an Act to establish the National Electoral Offences Commission and for Other Related matters.”

Adeyemi gave instances on how hooligans emerge as leaders, noting that the situation has painted Nigeria’s democracy in bad light to the extent that people look at all politicians as criminals.

He said:”Mr. President, when people of questionable character become leaders, then what is the future of that country. In fact, I am compelled to say, military era is better than Nigeria’s democracy currently.

“When you talk about maladministration and misappropriation of public funds, it emanates from people who have criminal records, people who have no background were elected or forced themselves into power.

“Mr. President, this is one of the best bills that we must all support.

“We are living witnesses to bad governance and bad representation in parliament. We must support this bill to bring good people into power, not charlatans, not ragamuffin.

“People who have criminal records come to the National Assembly to make laws.

Reacting to the statement, Senate President, Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan said, military era was not preferable to democracy as posited by Senator Adeyemi.

He said that the Kogi lawmaker was entitled to his opinion, saying that he made the comment in his personal capacity.

“The position of this chambers is that democracy is better than military era and Senator Adeyemi is entitled to his opinion”, Senate President noted.
