"Recent events in Maiduguri have brought to the fore some disturbing trends that is afflicting several neighbourhoods, who helplessly watch their wards being lured into anal sex." This is from Mr Bashir Shuwa, a resident of 707 quarters in Maiduguri complaing about the outbreak of anal sex in the town among young male men."This unpleasant tendency should not be allowed to remain unchecked if we want to live in a decent and tolerable society, where standard ethical norms are being obeyed by all."
Another resident Mubarak Pâté commented as well “Even in countries where Sodomy has been legalised, they descend heavily against those who do it to minors or under aged children. “We should ensure that all those with such dirty habits are punished for their crimes. “Accordingly, they should not be placed in positions of responsibility so as not to make their criminal activities look attractive to innocent people,’’
Hajiya Salamatu Abdulkadir, a politician had something to say “The victims of the abuse are being subjected to mockery, while the perpetrators walk with pride and haughtiness as they continue with their unimpeded misdemeanour."
The Borono commandant of the Nigerian Security and civil defense corps (NSCDC) Mr Abdullahi Ibrahim, said the trend was true and very disturbing. Abdullahi said two weeks ago, the command apprehended a man who used an electric heater to burn his son anus because he was engaging in homosexual. “The command discovered that the youth between eight years and 13 years old were being lured by their partners. “We, therefore, urged parents to ensure proper upbringing of their children and wards to checking the trend of homosexuality in our society,”
