Man Arrested For Raping Prophetess In Ogun Church

A prophetess in a church in Ogun State has been raped by a 40-year-old man identified as Lekan Sunday.

Sunday who allegedly committed the crime last Thursday was arrested by operatives of the state police command on Monday.

According to Punch, the suspect stormed the church, Orioke Aanu Oluwa Gbohunmi, in the Ilogbo Adu area of Kemta in Abeokuta with weapons and met the victim sleeping.

He was said to have held the prophetess hostage while brandishing a knife in her face that he would kill her if she continued to give him a tough time.

It was reported that when the prophetess’s call did not yield results, she started pleading with the suspect to pity her.

Despite several pleas with Sunday, the suspect was said to have insisted on her having sex with the prophetess.

After finally forcing her into submission and allegedly raping the prophetess, the victim was said to have approached a nearby police station, where the matter was reported.

Having received the complaint, the police launched a manhunt for the suspect who had fled.

He was later arrested on Monday.

The incident was confirmed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who said the prophetess recognised the suspect as a mason and labourer in the area.

Odutola said, “The incident happened last Thursday. We arrested the suspect yesterday (Monday). The preliminary investigation into the matter is ongoing.”
