A 40-year-old mason, Lekan Sunday, has been apprehended for allegedly raping a prophetess in a church in Ogun State.
Our correspondent gathered that the suspect stormed the church, Orioke Aanu Oluwa Gbohunmi, in the Ilogbo Adu area of Kemta in Abeokuta with weapons and met the victim while she was still fast asleep.
He was said to have held the prophetess hostage while waving a knife in her face that he would kill her if she continued to give him a hard time.
When her call for help to get people’s attention around the premises did not yield any results, the prophetess was said to have started pleading with the perpetrator to pity her.
Despite pleading with Sunday, the suspect was said to have insisted on having canal knowledge of the prophetess.

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

While speaking with a newsperson on Tuesday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent, said the prophetess recognized the suspect as a mason and laborer in the area.
“The incident happened last Thursday. We arrested the suspect yesterday (Monday). The preliminary investigation into the matter is ongoing,” Odutola stated via a WhatsApp message.
