Cleric Apprehended For Defiling Two Underaged Sisters In Ogun State

A supposed prophet and Man of God was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command Officers for allegedly defiling two underaged sisters.

The cleric, identified as Joseph Ogundeji, 30 happens to be a prophet of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ajuwon. He was detained on November 11 by the Ogun State police for reportedly having carnal knowledge of two underage sisters who are church members.

The suspect was apprehended immediately after a complaint by the father of the minors to the Ajuwon divisional headquarters.

According to the father, his 16-year-old daughter was pregnant, and upon asking who was responsible for the pregnancy, she pointed the prophet out.

The state police command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, stated that in response to the report, the DPO Ajuwon division, SP Andrew Akinseye, assigned his detectives to arrest the prophet.

In Oyeyemi’s words:

“On interrogation, the prophet admitted that he actually committed the crime. In the course of investigation, it was discovered that the said prophet did not only have carnal knowledge of the 16 years old girl, but her 13 years old younger sister too was defiled by the same prophet.

The two victims informed the police that whenever they had vigil in the church, the prophet who lives very close to the church would asked 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 will sleep off only to wake up and discover that the prophet had had sex with them.”

The spokesperson stated that when the police questioned the victims about why they didn’t tell their parents, they told them that the suspect had threatened to murder any of them who revealed the suspect’s identity.

The suspect has been transferred to the state’s criminal investigation department’s anti-human trafficking and child labor unit for additional investigation and potential prosecution under the direction of police commissioner CP Lanre Bankole.
