The Ogun state police command have confirmed the arrest of a Cherubim and Seraphim church pastor simply identified as Sunday in the Agbado area of Ogun State.

The pastor is being held for making fake prophecies and abducting a young woman.

The victim, a 21-year-old lady known as Aliu Blessing told police that she was approached by the pastor after she had gone to the church to take care of her sick sister when the pastor approached her and prophesied that she would die on her wedding day if she refused to have sexual intercourse with him.

The pastor allegedly further told her that any man who decides to have sexual relationship with her other than him would also die.

Following the prophecies, it was learnt that the prophet commanded her to follow him to a location known to him alone which she did without the knowledge of anybody in her family. This was on February 2.

After over seven months of searching for her, the victim’s uncle, Aliu Yusuf, told the police that the family was shocked when Blessing, returned home on November 5, 2023 and narrated how Sunday took her to his family house in Ilaro and subsequently to a hotel, where he was alleged to have had sex with her continuously.

Omolola Odutola, the state Police Public Relations Officer, disclosed on Tuesday that the suspect had confessed to the crimes and would be prosecuted accordingly.

“The suspect has been arrested, and he has since confessed to the crimes during interrogation. He is currently in our custody and will be charged in court as soon as the investigation is completed.

“The victim, on the other hand, had been taken to the hospital for medical examination after showing a psychological problem, or probably a psychiatric problem,” Odutola stated
