The founder and general overseer of the Church of the Lord, Olomoore, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Prophet Ebenezer Ajigbotoluwa, has been arrested by the police for defiling two sisters and impregnating them.
The suspect was arrested by the police following a report by the mother of the victims who reported the case at Lafenwa Police Station, Abeokuta.
According to DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesman of the police in Ogun State, the woman said that she fell sick sometimes in 2018 and was taken to the church for spiritual healing when the prophet told the other members of her family to move to the church premises to avoid being afflicted with the same sickness.
After moving into the church, without her knowledge, the prophet started having sex with her daughters who are 16 and 13 years old respectively.
The prophet soon impregnated the two girls and went on to procure abortion for them in a private clinic.
Apart from that the prophet was also said to have defrauded the family of N2 million cash which he took for what he called spiritual cleansing.
Upon the report, the DPO Lafenwa division, CSP Muraina Ayilara, led his men to the church but the place had been deserted.
The CP then directed that the suspect be hunted and brought to book.
In compliance with the CP’s directive, the DPO and his men embarked on intelligence and technical based investigation, and their efforts paid off when the prophet was arrested on August 6, 2020 at about 5 a.m.
On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of most of the allegations levelled against him and that it was the reason why he ran away when he heard that police were looking for him.
Recovered from his home were assorted dangerous charms.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward A Ajogun, has ordered the suspect to be transferred to the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation.
He also warned those hiding under the umbrella of religion to perpetrate evil to desist from it or meet their waterloo.
The CP therefore appealed to members of the public to beware of those masquerading as men of God as they were out to milk them dry before destroying their lives.
