A prophet of Cherubim and Seraphim Church who allegedly killed a 25-year-old housewife, Bosede Oguntade he lured from Facebook has been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command.
The suspect identified as Dotun Ogunlade popularly called ‘Arole Jesu’, lured the deceased to Igboora in Oyo State with claims of providing solution to her economic and marital problems by the spiritualist.
Upon arrival, he told her to first solve the problem of fatigue occasioned by the stress of her trip from Ilorin to Igboora, by taking sleeping drugs. After being injected with overdose of a sleeping drug, Bosede was subsequently over powered, strangulated and killed.
The prophet who killed the housewife he lured from Facebook for money rituals, buried her remains in a shallow grave at Ogboja area of Igbo-Ora.
Parading the suspect and his accomplice, the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Mr. Shina Olukolu disclosed that with credible information and diligent investigation, the police in Igbo-Ora were able to smash and arrest the syndicate.
“Further investigation revealed that parts of her body were allegedly crushed into powder for rituals to become powerful and rich. Two knives used to kill and cut her body parts, a white cloth bag containing substance inside a gourd where the alleged powder parts were kept and a bottle of Stallion Schnapps were also recovered.
“The police will continue with their resolute determination to stamp out crimes and criminality in the society, members of the public should be careful in having absolute trust in individuals or groups who are strangers, especially those they met on social media or those who claimed to possess the power of clairvoyance or ability to combat and treat successfully terminal diseases or possessed solutions to social and marital challenges,” he said.
Speaking with journalists, the suspect said he gained experience from his former boss who happened to be a prophet of Cherubim and Seraphim.
“Me and the woman have been chatting on Facebook since January, this year. I later invited her to Igbo Ora. Meanwhile, Mutiu, a friend had already told me about his challenges in life. He told me he was ready for money rituals. So, I decided to use the woman for money for him.
“When the woman later arrived from Ilorin, I went to pick her to Igbo-Ora, from Iseyin. On her arrival at my house, on 31st of May, this year, I gave her sleeping drugs after she complained about pains in her body, she slept off and I cut off her head, and arms. Her head was later burnt to ashes for money rituals,” he confessed .
