A man, who molests fellow men sexually while pretending to be a spirit, around Atan area of Ogun State, has been arrested by Operatives of Zone 2, Nigeria Police Force, comprising Lagos and Ogun states commands.

The suspect, Justin Edward, 34, as gathered, usually wore a mask, while perpetrating the act. His modus oparandi included laying ambush for his male targets at strategic points.

When he sees a prey, he comes out of hiding, pretending to be a spirit from the cemetery. Thereafter, he would drag his victim to a convenient place, where he would have sexual intercourse with them.

Zonal spokesman, DSP Hauwa Idris, who confirmed the arrest, said the suspect was arrested on July 20, following intelligence report on his escapades.

Idris said:

“ He was found with three facial masks, upon arrest. He confessed to have had sexual intercourse with five men.
