Lagos ‘Gay’ Pastor, Chizemdere Ezuma Arrested For Infecting Underage Boys With HIV
The founder of Jesus Intervention Household Ministry, Ejigbo, Lagos,
Chizemdere Ezuma has been arrested for allegedly sodomising,
prostituting and infecting underage boys with HIV virus.
According to The Nation, he was arrested at his residence after an
informant notified the police he had resurfaced, three months after he
was declared wanted. It was gathered that the suspect climbed his
ceiling where he hid for over two hours to evade arrest when detectives
stormed his home few days ago.
The suspect was declared wanted after an alleged male prostitute,
Prince Chinecherem, was arrested and charged to court after a
16-year-old victim, Anthony Ikem, made revelations that implicated them.
.
Ikem, who was found sneaking out of the suspect’s home with a
polythene bag containing used condoms and other items, was accosted by
neighbours and he confessed he was one of several sex partners of the
pastor. Ikem also confirmed that the Ezuma usually gave them to service
some of his male clients including VIPs. The teenager was taken to the
hospital for checks and it was discovered he was HIV+.
It was gathered that some residents of the community were worried he
was corrupting their male children and initiating them into the club,
hence, their keen interest to see that he was arrested and prosecuted.
Findings revealed that Ezuma was moved to the Gender Section at the
Police Command Ikeja, yesterday afternoon, following pressure from
certain quarters in the division to release him.
In his confessional statement to the police, Ezuma claimed he usually
paid the boys N2,000 for sex. Investigation showed that he brought
about 15 boys into his apartment where he forcefully penetrated them all
through the anus. “The reverend confirmed he is HIV+ and has been
receiving treatment for over three years. So, he knew he was HIV
positive and still infected his victims and clients with it,” said a source.
