Gay Herbalist Rapes Client's Son In Benue State

A 30-year-old gay herbalist, Tarvhi Nyitse, who resides in Naka, Benue,  has been remanded in prison custody by a Magistrate Court in Markudi for alleged homosexuality.

Prosecutor James Zungwe told the court that one Terzungwe Yev reported the matter at ‘D’ Division Police Station on Jan 16.  

Zungwe said that Yev told the police that his mother was sick and the accused 'herbalist' who came to their neighbour’s house claimed he had the cure for the ailment. The herbalist then took him to the bush to get some herbs to treat his mother.

“He reported that he was surprised when the accused pounced on him there in the bush and forcefully had sexual intercourse with him through his anus.

“During police investigation, the accused was arrested and charged with unnatural offence punishable under Section 284 of the Penal Code,” he said.
