Lagos Spiritualist Rapés Lady Who Went to Him for Deliverance, Now She’s Pregnant

A popular spiritualist, Ifatade Elegbeleye, has been arrested
by men of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos and charged
before an Ojokoro Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, for defrauding
a woman seeking husband. He allegedly swindled the
gullible woman of N2m and forcefully slept with her in his
‘chamber’.
31-year-old Temidayo Akinwale, a businesswoman who is
now pregnant, suffered the ugly fate when she went to the
spiritualist to deliver her from strange spirits that
prevented her from getting a husband.
Funny enough, in his response, Ifatade told the court that
he indeed delivered her of spiritual husband. Asked if he
slept with her and got her pregnancy, the spiritualist said:
” No comment.” But the incident allegedly happened right
inside his ‘chamber’ located at Ayobo in Lagos.
The accused was arraigned on a six-count charge of fraud,
stealing and obtaining sex under false pretences.
Elegbeleye who is cooling his heels in prison custody,
according to the police, lured his victim to a shrine and
told her that he needed to perform some rituals to deliver
her from spiritual husband that prevented her from getting
a husband all these years.
The 65-year-old mother of the victim, Mrs. Mary Akinwale,
while testifying before the court, narrated how the accused
lured her daughter to his shrine, raped and impregnated
her.
The distraught mother told the court that Elegbeleye
prophesied to her daughter that she was possessed with a
spiritual husband that would prevent her from getting
married and asked her to pay some amount of money for
spiritual cleansing.
She said that her daughter who was afraid of the prophesy,
paid the money and was taking to a river in the midnight at
Ipaja area, where she was bathed with spiritual soap,
adding that after the bath, she still could not get a
husband. She said the accused invited her daughter again
to his shrine and rapéd her, adding that she is now
pregnant.
The presiding Magistrate, O.A. Layinka granted him bail in
the sum of N200,000 with two sureties. The matter was
adjourned till 21 December for continuation of trial.
