Ekiti ‘Prophet’ Sentenced to Prison For Using Potash On Barren Woman’s Vagina

A self-acclaimed prophet has been sentenced to life imprisonment in Ekiti State for allegedly hypnotising and raping a barren woman, a development that reportedly led to her death.

Reports had it that the suspect whose name is identified as Olakanye Oni lured the victim into his room, spread a white cloth on her and raped her.

Naija News understands that the victim had visited Oni for spiritual healing before he took advantage of the situation. The prosecution team led by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Ministry of Justice, Ekiti State, Mr Julius Ajibare, said that “the prophet, sometimes in March 2017, invited one Omowale Gbadamosi from Lagos to Ado Ekiti on the pretence that he (the cleric) had solution to her barrenness.

“On getting to his church at Palace of Mercy, Mathew Street, Odo Ado Area, Ado Ekiti, he collected a sum of N52,000 from the victim. He hypnotised the victim and lured her into his room. He, thereafter, spread a white cloth on her and raped her.

“The convict used white handkerchief to clean the victim’s private part and inserted a substance believed to be potash into her vagina. The victim’s vagina got decayed as a result of the substance inserted into it by the cleric and this resulted into the victim’s eventual death.”

The prosecution called six witnesses to prove the case, while the defence counsel, Chris Omokhafe, called the convict and one other person as witnesses.

In the judgment, Justice Abiodun Adesodun sentenced the cleric to life imprisonment for manslaughter.

Meanwhile, one Dayo Asiwaju in Ekiti has also been sentenced to prison for allegedly raping an undergraduate student.

Naija News reports an Ekiti State High Court sitting on Thursday declared life imprisonment on the 24-year-old after he was found guilty of violating the college student using charms.
