Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a 30-year-old prophet of the Cherubim & Seraphim Church, Ajwon, Joseph Ogundeji for defiling two under-aged sisters and members of his church.

The suspect was arrested on 11 November 2022 following a complaint lodged at Ajuwon Divisional Headquarters by the father of the two underaged girls, who reported that she discovered that his 16 years old daughter is pregnant.

He added that when he asked his daughter who is responsible for the pregnancy, he discovered the prophet to be responsible for the pregnancy.

Upon the report, the DPO Ajuwon division, SP Andrew Akinseye detailed his detectives to effect the arrest of the randy prophet.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said on interrogation, the prophet admitted to the crime.

He said in the course of the 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 have a vigil in the church, the prophet who lives very close to the church will 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 will sleep off only to wake up and discover that the prophet had had sex with them.

“When asked why they didn’t inform their parents, the victims informed the police that the suspect threatened to kill anyone of them that let the cat out of the bag,” Oyeyemi said.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspect be transferred to the anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the state Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and possible prosecution.
