Miracle Oluebube Nweke was caught having sex with a sheep. The teenager, a native of Eziagu in Enugu state, on Monday, January 18, confessed that he had been engaging in sodomy for a while but was never caught.
He was subjected to rounds of investigation, after being arrested by the Edoji, Uruagu-Nnewi vigilante group. The 15-year-old boy who claims to be a member of the Assemblies of God Church in Nnewichi-Nnewi, confessed that he enjoys having sex only with sheep.
He was caught in the act by a friend who raised the alarm leading to his arrest and confession of his past escapades. The teenage boy said he knew that it was not normal to have sex with a sheep, but that he could not help himself. He said a strange voice always leads him to where he would get a tethered sheep which he would loose and drag to an uncompleted building to have sex with it, just to satisfy his urge.
Miracle explained that on sighting any sheep, he would engage, first, in sexual fixation otherwise called zoophilia before graduating to raping it otherwise called bestiality or sodomy. The self-confessed deviant who is first of seven male children in his family, dropped out of school after his primary 6.
He told newsmen that he started learning painting after dropping out, a trade which he says is not going smoothly. It was gathered that his father, Mr Sunday Nweke, is a trader at fairly used market, Mgbuka in Nnewi, while his mother, Mrs Ndide Nweke, sells banana and groundnut in the neighborhood.
Miracle denied allegations that the his shameful act is linked to some occultic practices. He stressed that he is a Christian of the Assemblies of God Church in Nnewichi-Nnewi who will not steal anything from anybody and that he does not belong to any cult but only have friends whom he plays football with. He however blamed evil spirit for being responsible for his sexual depravity.
“There is a spirit that normally tells me to go and look for sheep and whenever I hear the commanding voice of the spirit, it becomes irresistible for me to take away my eyes from sheep. “I will be so restless and confused until after I have carried out the instruction of the unseen spirit,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the owner of the sheep who identified himself simply as Mr Uche from Nkpoka, Nnewichi-Nnewi told the vigilante operatives that he would not go home with the sheep again. Uche demanded that the teenager who defiled his sheep must buy it.
Uche argued that it would be misleading for anyone to think that the sheep is still normal after its encounter with Miracle. He said: “The best thing is to sell this sheep and its small baby to Miracle so that he can do whatever he wants with it.
I cannot take them home again after their experience in his hand. “I will only be deceiving myself if I believe my sheep is still normal. If I take them home and they start biting people, what would I do?,” he queried. Adding that
“Again, if the sheep later gives birth to a half man and half animal, what do you want me to tell them.
The vigilante group said that he boy would be released to his parents after they have made adequate payment for the sheep that was raped by their son. They further informed that the case would not be handed over to the police based on the dynamics of the alleged crime.
As of the time of filing this report, Mr and Mrs Nweke were not available for comments on the issue at stake. The Authority on Saturday reports that copulating with animals though is not new in history, it is, however, rare and considered an abomination especially in most African societies.
