The Police in Anambra State have arrested Ekene Aboji, 35, a
prophet with Jesus Miracle Ministry, Ifite-Awka, for allegedly
defiling a 13-year-old boy after a vigil.
This is just as 37-year-old Olamide Korede, who allegedly
raped a lady (names withheld) at a guest house in Ketu,
Alapere, was yesterday charged before an Ogudu
Magistrate’s Court in Lagos.
Anambra State’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nkeiru
Nwode, said in Awka, yesterday, that the alleged defilement
of the boy by the prophet occurred on August19 at the
Church premises.
Nwode told newsmen that medical report showed that the
victim sustained bruises on his neck and anus, adding that
investigations were ongoing.
In Nwode’s words: “This is a case of homosexual and
unnatural offence; a situation where you have unlawful carnal
knowledge of a minor.
“The young boy went for the vigil and was asked by the
prophet to stay behind since it was late to return home. The
boy obliged only to be forced by the suspect, who had carnal
knowledge of him through the anus.
“When the police got the information, we swung into action
and went to the Church to arrest him, but he had absconded.”
Nwode said that the mother-in-law of the prophet was
arrested; and that the suspect was later arrested on August
25, while attempting to settle the matter without involving
police.
She described the incidence as “unfortunate” and advised
parents to take proper care of their children.
However, Aboji denied the allegation, saying he only advised
the boy against going home after the vigil for his safety.
The suspect said he was surprised to receive information that
some irate youths, wielding dangerous weapons, had
stormed his house with the allegation that he raped the
minor.
On his part, the minor claimed that he woke up from sleep,
when the suspected rapist grabbed him by the neck and
unbuckled his belt.
Another drugs, rapes lady
In the case of 37-year-old Korede, who is facing a five-count
charge bordering on attempted rape and stealing, he was
docked before Magistrate Funke Sule-Amzat.
The prosecutor, Sergeant Ihehie Lucky, told the court that the
defendant committed the offence on August 20 at about
1p.m. at Popoola Guest House, Alapere Ketu.
He said the defendant put 10 pieces of D5 tablets in her
drink, which caused her to sleep for 24 hours, and he then
raped her.
He added that Korede also recorded the act.
Lucky said that the defendant also stole an android phone
valued N25,000 which also belongs to the victim.
The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge and the
magistrate adjourned the case to October 6 for facts and
sentence.
