The Sakumono District Police station
on Friday witnessed the Ghanaian version of the famous American TV
programme ‘The Jerry Springer Show’, where guests openly fight others in
the name of reclaiming their loved ones from snatchers, when three
young men suspected to be gay openly expressed jealousy by castigating
each other for partner-snatching.
The police, who were shocked at
what transpired, quickly apprehended the three suspects without
hesitation, as their several pleas to the senior police officers for
pardon after their quarrels landed them in trouble.
The suspects
were Inusah Issifu, 27, pork dealer, Samuel Lartey, a 19-year old
student and Kingsley Quansah, a 25-year-old caterer. Two other persons
also believed to be gay and connected to the arrested persons were
currently on the run.
One was named Charles and the other Obolo.
All three arrested persons were said to be residents of Tema. Some of
the items retrieved from them at the time of the arrest were water-based
lubricant suspected to be used for penetration, petroleum jell,
dressing mirror, tooth brush and paste and dresses among others.
Superintendent
Alex C. Wowolo, who confirmed the incident to Daily Guide, noted that
on October 19, 2011, one of the arrested persons, Samuel, reported a
case of unnatural carnal knowledge against Inusah and alleged that he
suspected Inusah of lacing his drink with tranquilizers which made him
fall asleep. |

He told the police that while he was
asleep, he felt some heaviness on him and woke up only to see Inusah
sodomizing him and even though he wanted to free himself, he could not
because his assailant was too heavy for him to overpower.
The
Commander stated that while investigations were underway about the
alleged sodomy, Samuel, the complainant, was issued with Police Medical
Report Form to attend hospital for examination and treatment, and later
Inusah was arrested.
The police boss said that it came to light
at some point of the investigations that the two were suspected
homosexuals, adding that the case of sodomy was reported to cover up
their true identities.
Superintendent Wowolo said Inusah and Samuel later admitted to being gay partners and pleaded with the police for mercy.
He
said Inusah mentioned to the police that it was Kingsley who introduced
Sammy to him as his (Kingsley’s) partner during police interrogation.
He
said investigations revealed that Kingsley, who felt jilted and
jealous, lured his ex-partner, Samuel, who was having rashes under his
manhood and around his anus, to report a case of sodomy against Inusah,
who was also suffering from the same disease. It was suspected that
Inusah had infected Samuel with the disease.
A few minutes after
the arrest of the two partners, Kingsley was said to have appeared at
the police station to visit Samuel when he was also arrested. A search
in his bag revealed some water-based lubricant, dresses, mirror,
toothbrush and paste and condoms among others.
Superintendent
Wowolo said the three suspects would be arraigned after investigations
into the matter were concluded, adding that a search for the said Obolo
and Charles was also on course.
