Men of Ogun State Police Command have arrested a 30-year-old prophet of Cherubim and Seraphim church Ajuwon, identified as Prophet Joseph Ogundeji, for allegedly defiling two under age sisters who are members of his church.
The suspect was arrested on November 11, 2022, following a complaint lodged at Ajuwon divisional headquarters by the father of the two girls.
According to the man, he discovered that his 16-year-old daughter was pregnant, and when he inquired to know who was responsible for the pregnancy, he was told that it was the prophet who impregnated her.
SP Abimbola Oyeyemi who is the spokesperson of the state police command said upon the report, the DPO Ajuwon division, SP Andrew Akinseye detailed his detectives to effect the arrest of the prophet.
”On interrogation, the prophet admitted that he actually committed the crime. In the course of investigation, it was discovered that the said prophet did not only have carnal knowledge of the 16 years old girl, but her 13 years old younger sister too was defiled by the same prophet.
“The two victims informed the police that whenever they had vigil in the church, the prophet who lives very close to the church would asked them to go and stay in his house after the vigil which always comes to an end around 3 am.
“They stated further that anytime they stay in the prophet’s house, he used to give them something to lick, and after licking it, they will sleep off only to wake up and discover that
the prophet had had sex with them.”

He further said that when the victim were asked why they didn’t inform their parents, they told the police that the suspect threatened to kill anyone of them if they do.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspect be transferred to anti-human trafficking and child labor unit of the state Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and possible prosecution.
