A 40-year-old mason named Lekan Sunday has been apprehended on allegations of raping a prophetess inside a church in Ogun State.
The incident reportedly occurred last Thursday, and he was successfully apprehended by the state authorities on Monday.
According to our sources, the suspect forcibly entered the Orioke Aanu Oluwa Gbohunmi church, situated in the Ilogbo Adu area of Kemta, Abeokuta, armed with weapons.
He discovered the victim asleep and proceeded to hold her captive, wielding a knife and threatening to harm her if she resisted.
Despite her calls for help from those nearby, the prophetess received no assistance, leading her to plead with the assailant.
Despite her pleas, the suspect continued to insist on sexual intercourse.
After coercing her into submission and allegedly committing the assault, the victim sought help at a nearby police station, where she reported the incident.
Following the complaint, the police initiated a search for the suspect, who had fled the scene.
He was ultimately arrested on the subsequent Monday.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the occurrence, stating that the prophetess recognized the suspect as a mason and laborer in the vicinity.
She also mentioned that the preliminary investigation into the case is currently in progress
