Two suspected Nigerian gay pastors, Prince Ejimole, 26, and Lawrence Udo, 25, have been arrested
and charged to court after they were allegedly caught having sex in a hotel
room at Ijeshatedo, Lagos State.
They are facing charges of having
carnal knowledge of each other against the order of nature before the presiding
Magistrate, Mrs A. O. Awogboro. The
pastors were arrested at a popular hotel at Ijeshatedo where it was alleged
they usually lodged to have sex with each other.
Sources at the hotel said the duo
usually lodged in the hotel under the guise of praying.
They were arrested after Pastor Ejimole and Udo allegedly lured another member of the congregation, Chidiebere Mozie, who needed prayers to
the hotel. But they allegedly forced him to have sex with them.
Mozie alleged
that when they got into the hotel room, Pastor
Ejimole started sucking his breast and was pulling out his penis as well to
penetrate into his anus.
He raised the alarm that attracted the
hotel management who had allegedly been suspicious of their activities.
