The Police Command in Ogun has arrested a Prophet, Abimbolu Oluwafemi , 38, of the Cherubim and Seraphim church, Ijebu Igbo for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old girl.

The Command’s Spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this in a statement in Abeokuta on Sunday.

Odutola noted that the suspect committed the crime under the guise of performing a spiritual cleansing.

She explained that the victim’s mother, a member of the prophet’s congregation, reported the incident at the Ijebu Igbo Divisional Police Station. 

According to Odutola, the mother stated that the prophet had deceitfully convinced her that a spiritual bath was necessary to avert a prophesied calamity in her daughter’s future. 

The police spokesperson added that during the spiritual bath at a riverbank at 2:00 p.m, the suspect allegedly took advantage of the minor.

” Upon receiving the report, officers from the Gender Department of the Ogun State Police Command swiftly arrested the suspect. 

” The victim was referred to Medicare Hospital, Ijebu Igbo, where medical evidence is being gathered to aid the ongoing investigation,” she said 

Odutola noted that findings indicated a disturbing level of neglect and lack of parental caution, saying that the victim’s mother had entrusted her child to the suspect without due diligence. 

She warned parents and guardians to remain vigilant and protect their children from individuals of questionable character, especially those who exploited religious beliefs for financial advantage.
