Kabiru claimed he was
initially too weak to fight him off when Alhaji Habu penetrated him but
eventually managed to gain enough strength to get the man he called 'uncle' off
him, using a knife.
Meanwhile, Alhaji Habu is
telling a different story. He claimed Kabiru came to his house and asked to
spend the night, and in the middle of the night Kabiru tried to rob him and
attacked with him a knife.
Read the full story according to Nigerian Tribune, after the cut..................
It is a sad story, a frightening betrayal of family trust. To many, it’s something that defies logic, because no one has ever seen
a male dog, despite its high libido, doing such a thing with another male dog.
For the fact a man was involved in it, and in a highly cosmopolitan city like
Kaduna where all kinds of women abound who could have served that purpose for a
fee, or even for free depending on how persuasive one could be, many are now
disturbed.
The thinking in many quarters is that,
perhaps, the people of the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah are gradually reincarnating
in the crocodile city.
For Hajiya Fati, it’s a sad
tale to tell, but considering the degree of betrayal, she was prepared to go to
any length to seek justice for her son who was allegedly sedated, sodomised and
blackmailed by a businessman who hitherto was highly respected and revered by
neighbours in the elitist Malali area of Kaduna metropolis.
Amid sobs, she prayed that
such a thing would never happen again to any family, and hoped against hope
that the dirty act would not be revealed to her ailing husband, the father of
her son, Kabiru, who is now coping with the sad and painful experience he
suffered in the hands of a close and trusted family friend – a man who had once
played with him on his laps as a baby, but who would one day turn into a sex
predator, forcefully gaining entry into his anal region after drugging him with
a hot tea.
Narrating his ordeal,
Kabiru, who appears to be in his early 30s, said he was invited by Alhaji Habu
to his Malali house and was offered food to eat. After the meal, he vomited
because he was not feeling well. According to him, his host offered him tea,
which he drank and immediately, he fell asleep in the house, with no one around.
According to him, the tea,
which he suspected was drugged, threw him into a state of illusion, but he felt
it when Alhaji Habu allegedly penetrated him. “He was already inside me and I
tried to free myself, but my body was weak because of the tea. I gained a
little strength and tried to push him aside, but he said he would give me
whatever I wanted if I could cooperate.
I saw a knife and rushed for
it but he held my hand and slapped me, forcing me down. When I was able to grab
the knife again, he held my hand, and in the struggle, I was wounded. I fought
with the knife to free myself, screaming for help. It was late at night and
when I was able to push the door and escaped, I screamed and some people came
to help me. The police came from Malali Police Station and took us to the
Garkuwa Hospital,” he recounted.
Kabiru said he had never
involved in such abnormal sexual act, and expressed sadness that a person he
called ‘uncle’ could do such a thing to him.
Hajiya Fati insisted there was no homosexual relationship
between her son and one Alhaji Habu; but she maintained the suspect had been
well known to the family since when Kabiru was a baby, and even married the
sister of a close friend of hers. “I was home sleeping, and around 2:00 a.m.,
the police came knocking. They said my son, Kabiru, had a fight with someone
and that they were both in a hospital badly wounded.
We rushed to the Garkuwa
Hospital, and on sighting me, Kabiru said ‘Mama, look at what Alhaji Habu did
to me’. I was terrified and dumbfounded because my son was in bad state, and
something like water was dripping from his backside.
“Immediately, Alhaji Habu,
who was bandaged due to knife cuts on his body, also said ‘Hajiya, look at what
Kabiru did to me.’ He said my son came to his house to use his guinea brocade
(kaftan) for a wedding ceremony and decided to pass the night.
He said that in the night,
he felt somebody stabbing him with a knife, and was even calling Kabiru to come
to his aid, not knowing that it was Kabiru that was stabbing him. “I asked him
why he didn’t call me to inform me that Kabiru would be passing the night in
his house. I said that even if Kabiru stayed late in his house, he should have
asked him to leave, since in such (an elitist) area, one could not get a taxi or
commercial motorcyclists at late hours. But he said it was my son who came to
his house, ate the food he had cooked and vomited, drank tea afterward and
decided to sleep in the house, not knowing that he came to rob him.”
She said she could not tell
Kabiru’s father the sad story because he is old and very ill; expressing the
fear that such a story might worsen his already bad situation.“All I want is
justice to take its course.
My son cannot be
blackmailed. He (Alhaji Habu) has betrayed trust and I can never forget this
sad incident. The religion of Islam is against this kind of thing; the heaven
and the earth shake anytime this sin is committed. It is a very bad thing. I
must fight for my fundamental human rights,” she said.It was gathered that
Habu’s wife has since deserted the family home, having suspected that her
husband was involved in an inappropriate relationship.
At the hospital where Alhaji
Habu was receiving treatment, he told reporters that Kabiru was in his house to
rob him and succeeded in wounding him with a knife. The reporters were,
however, prevented from having a detailed interview with the suspect, based on
‘orders from above’. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer for
the state police command, DSP Aminu Lawan, said he was aware of the incident
but that investigations were still going on to unravel what actually took place
during the encounter.
