A-25-year old man, Ojonugwa Adejoh has been
arrested by the Ondo state police command for
allegedly stealing pants belonging to his brothers’
wife for rituals.
Adejoh was arrested alongside with one Prophet
Olajide Ogunleye (53), of Celestial Church of
Christ, ‘Ibanujemidopin’, Uso, in Owo local
government area of Ondo state.
Parading the suspects in Akure,the state capital
on Wednesday, the State Police Public Relations
Officer, Femi Joseph, a Superintendent of Police
(SP) said they were arrested last week following
the report by the victim.
Adejoh said, “I went to the prophet to pray for me
because of my work when I got there he asked
me the type of my work and I told him I am panel
beater, he said he wanted to pray for me asking
me to open my hands and put something on it for
me to shallow and prayed for me before leaving
the place.
“But when I got home I don’t know what I was
doing again I just started looking for my brother
wife’s pants and when I got the pants I went
back to him. I didn’t steal the pants for rituals.
Hours after, my brother’s wife raised an alarm
that she didn’t see her pants and I was arrested.
When the police arrested me, I was taken to Uso
police station before they transferred me to Akure.
“Two pants belong to my brother’s wife and three
others belong to my younger sister are in my
possessionâ€.
The prophet however denied the allegation,saying
he didn’t ask him to go and steal the pants.
Joseph however enjoined ladies and women in the
state to guard their under wears jeolously,saying
“this is a very dangerous phenomenon nowâ€.
He said “we are using this opportunity to enjoy
our ladies and women that this is a very
dangerous phenomenon now, we have to guard
whatever we are putting on as underwear.
“Parents should also warn their children
particularly female ones to be very careful where
they keep their wears.
The command also arrested two local security
guards for alleged attempt to rape one woman
(name withheld) who was coming back from
church around 8pm along popular Agbogbo road,
in Akure.
The suspects, Daniel John (25) and Longbap
Bongven (25) from Plateau state according to
police spokesman said they normally hide
somewhere around the area whenever they
wanted to perpetuate their acts.
