A 40-year-old man named Lekan Sunday has been arrested by the Ogun State police for allegedly raping a prophetess in a church. The incident occurred last Thursday at Orioke Aanu Oluwa Gbohunmi in the Ilogbo Adu area of Kemta in Abeokuta.

According to reports, the suspect entered the church armed with weapons and found the prophetess asleep. He held her at knife-point, threatening to harm her if she resisted. Despite her pleas, the suspect insisted on sexually assaulting her.

After the assault, the victim reported the incident to a nearby police station. The police launched a manhunt, leading to the arrest of Lekan Sunday on Monday. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident and stated that the investigation is underway. The prophetess identified the suspect as a mason and laborer in the area.
