Prophet Defiles Siblings In Ogun, Impregnates One

The Ogun State command of the Nigeria Police Force has apprehended a self-acclaimed prophet for allegedly defiling two siblings.

The suspect, Joseph Ogundeji, was linked to a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in the Ajuwon area of Ogun State.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told newsmen that the suspect was nabbed on November 11 following a complaint lodged at the Ajuwon Divisional Police Headquarters by the father of the victims.

Oyeyemi said the DPO of Ajuwon Division, SP Andrew Akinseye, detailed his detectives to arrest the accused prophet upon receipt of the complaint.

One of the teenage sisters, said to be a member of the suspect’s church, is now pregnant, said the police spokesman.

Naija News learnt that the father had reported to the police after discovering his 16-year-old daughter was pregnant. On inquiry, the man said he discovered that “the prophet is the one who impregnated his daughter.”

“On interrogation, the prophet admitted that he actually committed the crime,” Oyeyemi said.

During the investigation, the police discovered that the 30-year-old prophet had also defiled the 13-year-old younger sister of the one he reportedly impregnated.

“The two victims informed the police that whenever they had a vigil in the church, the prophet, who lives very close to the church, would ask them to go and stay in his house after the vigil, which always comes to an end around 3 am.

“They stated further that anytime they stay in the prophet’s house, he used to give them something to lick, and after licking it, they would sleep off only to wake up and discover that the prophet had had sex with them,” Oyeyemi narrated.

When asked why they refused to tell their parents about the incidents, the victims, according to Oyeyemi, informed the police that the suspect had threatened to kill them if they did so.

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, had directed that the suspect be transferred to the Ogun State CIID’s anti-human trafficking and child labour unit for further investigation and prosecution, Naija News learnt.
