Adeleye Akingbaso, a prophet who was remanded after being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl, has been paraded by the Ekiti State Police Command.
According to a statement made by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Abutu Sunday, on August 18, the State CID’s Juvenile Welfare Centre (JWC) Unit detained Akingbaso on August 12 in Ijadu Olorunsogo, Ado-Ekiti, for allegedly having illicit sexual contact with a 13-year-old girl.
“Investigation revealed that the suspect, on noticing that the victim’s mother had left home for a vigil in the Church, sneaked into their room and committed the act, claiming that he intended to spiritually deliver the victim. He further promised to attack her spiritually if she informs her mother,” the PPRO said.
“The suspect initially absconded after committing the offence but was later arrested by the Police. During interrogation, he confessed to the commission of the crime and was arraigned accordingly.”
