A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun State, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect was arrested following a report lodged at the Family Support Unit of the Ota Area Command by the victim, who was accompanied by her mother.
The victim said that sometime in March 2021, the prophet invited her to the church for prayer, and took advantage of been alone with him in the church to forcefully have unlawful carnal knowledge of her.
After the illicit affair, the prophet ordered her to take a spiritual bath in the church with an already spiritually prepared candle, which he used to rub all over her body.
Since then, the victim said she has been having spiritual attacks which always make her to fall down and remain unconscious for hours .
Upon the report, the Area Commander Ota, ACP Muhideen Obe, detailed his family support unit to the scene where the randy prophet was promptly arrested.
The Commissioner of Police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered a thorough investigation of the case and that the suspect be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
