The Nasarawa State Police Command has apprehended suspected armed robber, Federick Ugah, who attacked a Reverend Father and disposed him of his car.
While admitting to the offence, Ugah stated that he was forced to drop out of the university as a 400 level student of Law after his frustrations at the hands of a Catholic priest he served in Kaduna.
Recalling how he got involved in crime, Ugah said that he started life as an orphan, having lost his parents at a tender age and to actualize his ambition of becoming a lawyer, he sought help from clergymen.
The suspect noted that while he agreed to serve as an altar boy, the Church would help him foot his education bills in return.
As expected, he initially got an admission into the University of Abuja to study English before he secured another one at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria to study Law.
Trouble, however, started when the priest who was sponsoring him attempted to turn him into his sex partner.
Ugah told the police that he resisted the idea of sodomy because he regarded it as an immoral act.
His rebellion allegedly compelled the clergyman to frustrate him out of the Catholic Church by accusing him of stealing some money belonging to the parish.
“I have vowed to deal with reverend fathers across the country. They are my target and I will continue to rob them of money and snatch their cars. I was in Abuja with them before I moved to Kaduna State when I got admission in ABU. Then one day, the reverend father I was serving demanded to have sex with me before my sponsorship could be guaranteed.
“I was wondering how a reverend father would turn gay. When I refused, he brought up an allegation against me that I stole parish’s money and should be driven away by the parish. He also poisoned the minds of other reverend fathers who intended to help me,” he said.
He stated it was at that moment his journey into the underworld began as he was unable to graduate from university and his dream of becoming a lawyer dashed.
