Popular prophet arrested for defiling 17-year-old girl
The Ogun State Police Command have detained a 50-year-old prophet identified as Tayo Shobowale, for allegedly raping a 17-year-old church member during a prayer session in the church in the Oke Igbala, Ifo area of the state.
The suspect, who’s in charge of one Cherubim & Seraphim Church in Oke-igbala, Ifo, was arrested following a report lodged by the victim’s family.
According to the command’s spokesperson, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the family reported that sometime in March 2021, the prophet invited the teenager to the church for a prayer session, and when they were alone he forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
The victim further stated that, after the illicit affair, the prophet ordered her to take a spiritual bath in the church with an already spiritually prepared candle, which he rubbed over her body. Oyeyemi added that since then, the victim had complained of having a spiritual attack which always made her to fall down and remain unconscious for hours.
“On interrogation, the suspect initially denied the allegations, but when he was confronted by the victim, it was very difficult for him to absolve himself of the allegations,” he said.
