The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a Pastor identified as Sunday of a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Agbado area of the state, for alleged fake prophecies and the abduction of a 21-year-old lady identified as Aliu Blessing.
According to the Command, the victim had gone to the church to take care of her ailing sister when the pastor prophesied that she would d#e on her wedding day if she refused to have s+xual intercourse with him.
The Pastor is also alleged to have claimed that any man who tried to have s+xual intercourse or a relationship with a lady other than him would also d#e.
Following the alleged deception and prophecies, the prophet reportedly abducted the lady on February 2, 2023, to an unknown location, throwing the family into p@in and disarray.
Seven months later, the victim’s uncle, Aliu Yusuf, told the police that the family was shocked when Blessing, who returned home on November 5, 2023, narrated how Sunday took her to his family house in Ilaro and subsequently to a hotel, where he was alleged to have had multiple and unconsented s+xual intercourse with her.
Confirming the arrest of the suspect, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, said the suspect had confessed to the crimes and would be prosecuted. The spokesperson also disclosed that the victim had been taken to the hospital after showing signs of a m+ntal disorder.
