BENIN CITY – Tragedy was said to have struck the family of Oduwa on February 12, 2016 in Benin City as their daughter Sandra Oduwa was physically lynched to death by angry mob allegedly mobilised by the family of John Blessing who took fight to No. 4 Edebiri Street, Off Agbor Road, Benin City, the residence of Sandra Oduwa to rescue their daughter John Blessing from pangs of homosexuality and lesbianism.
According to reports reaching our news desk, Sandra Oduwa, a notorious adherent of lesbianism had succeeded in using her rich family background by taking advantage of John Blessing and initiated her into indulging in lesbianism at the displeasure of the John Blessing’s family.
The reports said that Sandra Oduwa whose family is very rich and comfortable, had earlier enticed John Blessing with cash and personal gifts and had been sponsoring her into becoming her gay partner in homosexual and lesbian activities.
However, on February 12, 2016 tragedy struck when the family of John Blessing following the dictates of their family culture and tradition as well as the discovery of the intensity with which their daughter, Blessing was engaging in homosexuality, decided to visit Sandra Oduwa’s abode to warn her to leave their daughter alone and stop engaging her in the abominable and dirty practices of homosexuality.
“It was during this visit that fight broke out which led to the death of Sandra Oduwa and her gay partner escaped into hiding since on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2016″, a family source said.
“This kind of practice is forbidden in our family, our culture and tradition and it is even forbidden by our laws. This family cannot accept this kind of behaviour and Blessing must be cured irrespective her deep attachment to this abominable sexual orientation”, the family source added
Meanwhile, the family and the police authority have declared John Blessing wanted to explain her involvement, not only in the alleged practice of lesbianism, but also the situation that led to the death of her gay partner, Sandra Oduwa.
The current Nigerian societal value system is inherently set against homosexual practises. Many perceived gays adherents have been lynched without even the luxury of a court trial; hence the tragedy and dilemma of the both families of John Blessing and Sandra Oduwa.
As at the time of filing in this report, the whereabouts of John Blessing is not known.
