Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan yesterday decried the increasing incidence of homosexuality in the state.
The governor who was delivering his message at the First Baptist Church in Warri said young boys withing the ages of 16, 17 and 18 have been discovered engaging in gay activities.
According to him: “These youths who engage in criminal activities are our children. Right here in Delta State, at Enerhen Junction we just discovered that we have children between 15, 16, 17 and 18 years old who rent rooms around Enerhen Junction and at night men come out to look for them. These are boys and men come to sleep with them in their rooms. These boys called themselves ‘Yansh’.
“So they belong to a cult called Yansh. This is right in our society here. It’s through the Edu Marshals Programme that we now discovered homosexual homes right here. We used to know about female harlots but we now have male harlots. Unfortunately they are young boys. They are our children. Yes, there is not much the government can do, but there is much we can do as parents.”
Uduaghan called on parents to be more alive to their responsibilities noting that these are trying times for the country.
He went on to blame the high level of criminality in the society on inability of most parents to play their roles effectively.
The governor urged Nigerians to stay vigilant as a result of various insecurity challenges facing the country, even as he urged Christians to use period of Easter celebration to have rethink.
