Confirming the incident, a child rights activist in the community, Comrade Zakari Adam Y. Kontagora said Maishayi was a known homosexual in the town and for a long time, he had been shielded from prosecution by the elders of the town who always prevented justice being carried out on him, with the action leading to the death of the young boy.
Comrade Kontagora has, therefore, called on the relevant authorities in the state to promptly enact a child rights act to put in check the incessant rape of children.
