A 40-year-old man identified as Lekan Sunday have been arrested for allegedly raping a Prophetess in Ogun church.

The suspect committed the crime last week Thursday, but was however arrested by men of the Ogun State command on Monday.

Lekan Sunday invaded the church at Orioke Aanu Oluwa Gbohunmi, in the Ilogbo Adu area of Kemta in Abeokuta with weapons and met the victim sleeping.

He threatened to kill the prophetess with a knife while holding her hostage if she continued to give him tough time.

When her pleas for assistance from people didn’t yield results, the prophetess began pleading with the suspect to feel sorry for her.

Despite several pleas with Sunday, the suspect was said to have insisted on her having sex with the prophetess.

After eventually forcing her to submit and allegedly raping the prophetess, the victim was said to have approached a nearby police station, where the incident was reported.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident to newsmen on Monday said the prophetess recognised the suspect as a mason and labourer in the area.

“The incident happened last Thursday. We arrested the suspect yesterday (Monday). The preliminary investigation into the matter is ongoing.”
