A 17-year-old boy of Viniklang, in the Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa, has been arrested by police for sexual escapades with a male chicken, a cockerel.
Lawali Mori was arrested, according to a statement on Friday by the Police Public Relations Officer, Adamawa State Command, Suleiman Ngoruje, for having unlawful carnal knowledge of a cock.
The police officer described it as a crime against the order of nature.
According to the statement, the arrest was the result of a complaint filed by one Esther Dimas, a resident of Viniklang, after she caught the suspect in the act.
The suspect during interrogation by the police had revealed he sexually assaulted the male fowl.
The police statement further said Mori “could not give any cogent reasons for carrying out the act.”
However, the state Commissioner of Police, Afolabi Babatola, while expressing worries over the act of bestiality, called for a discreet investigation into the matter.
