The suspect allegedly took a blade and shaved the two armpits of the victim, his male organ area and used Sunlight soap to masturbate the victim, who consequently released sperms into a cup.

Superintendent Yahaya Muchiraru, the Suhum Police Commander, confirming the incident to DAILY GUIDE,said after the incident the victim went back home and informed his parents, who subsequently lodged a complaint at the police station.

Supt Muchiraru said the police later stormed the suspect’s house to effect his arrest, adding that upon interrogation the suspect admitted that he shaved the victim’s armpits and his private part because they were bushy and that during the process, the victim masturbated.

The Suhum police chief added that the victim also admitted the suspect shaved his hair and used soap to masturbate him.
