In what will come across as a really shocking development, a prophet
has been said to have r@ped a young boy.
The prophet identified as Ekene Aboji, has been arrested.
The nan who is popular in Anambra State, was arrested by the Police in
the state.
Aboji, a 35-year-old prophet with Jesus Miracle Ministry, Ifite-Awka,
is in police net for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old boy after a vigil.
According to Vanuard, Anambra State’s Police Public Relations Officer,
ASP Nkeiru Nwode, said in Awka, yesterday, that the alleged defilement of the
boy by the prophet occurred on August 19 at the Church premises.
Nwode told newsmen that medical report showed that the victim sustained
bruises on his neck and anus, adding that investigations were ongoing.
In Nwode’s words: “This is a case of homosexual and unnatural offence;
a situation where you have unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor.
“The young boy went for the vigil and was asked by the prophet to stay
behind since it was late to return home. The boy obliged only to be forced by
the suspect, who had carnal knowledge of him through the anus.
“When the police got the information, we swung into action and went to
the Church to arrest him, but he had absconded.”
Nwode said that the mother-in-law of the prophet was arrested; and that
the suspect was later arrested on August 25, while attempting to settle the
matter without involving police.
She described the incidence as “unfortunate” and advised parents to
take proper care of their children.
However, Aboji denied the allegation, saying he only advised the boy
against going home after the vigil for his safety.
The suspect said he was surprised to receive information that some
irate youths, wielding dangerous weapons, had stormed his house with the
allegation that he raped the minor.
On his part, the minor claimed that he woke up from sleep, when the
suspected rapist grabbed him by the neck and unbuckled his belt.
