anuses.

his players in February 2015, adding that the act is to derive pleasure.
He said, “I
slept with only three of my footballers. There was one of my boys that had not
been coming for training since last week. When I asked after him, I was told
that he was sick. I did not know that he had reported to his mother and she had
told the police.
“I do not know
what moved me to be sleeping with them. I have been coaching for about 12
years. My wife stays in the South-East. She left me in March 2016. The s3x with
the boys was not for any ritual. I only derived fun from it. I knew it was a
crime and that was why I stopped this act since July. I pledged not to go back
into this,” he added.
One of the
victims, “He always sleep with me and with most of us. He started last year.
The first time he approached me was after a training session. We were on the
football pitch and he said my performance was bad and I should meet him at home
for a discussion.
“When I went,
he and two boys were at home. His wife did not stay with him. He sent the two
boys on an errand and asked me to come into his room. He then instructed me to
remove my trousers, and he molested me.
“He did not
use any protection. He did not give me any money, but he threatened that I
would die if I told anyone. I cannot count how many times he had done this to
me. I told my mother when I was tired of his abuse. My mother reported him at
the police station.”
The Lagos
State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the suspect would be charged
to court.
