Two men who are said to be relatives, were nabbed while having homosexual sex in the Agbor Alidinma area in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, on December 23, 2015, and after they were properly beaten by their community members, they were stripped naked and handed over to the town’s Chief Priest for spiritual cleansing so as to avert any calamity befalling the community.
According to the report posted online, the two men identified as Monday Ehikwe and Godwin Chukwueku Okwuoseh, said to be cousins, were caught right in the act in an uncompleted building in the area by the vigilante group attached to the community.
They were stripped naked and handed over to the Okpala, the spiritual head of Agbor-Alidinma and his council of chiefs who subsequently handed them over to the Chief Priest of the village shrine for spiritual cleaning and administration of first step traditional oath on them.
They were fined the sum of N25,000 each and mandated to return to the shrine on a later date in January, 2016, with one native cow, with 36 native chalks, 50 cola nuts, two red cloths each and 20 tuber of yams, for final traditional bath.
