The Ogun State police command has arrested a 40-year-old mason, Lekan Sunday, for allegedly raping a prophetess in a church in the state.

According to reports, while the suspect allegedly committed the crime last Thursday, men of the state command succeeded in arresting him on Monday.

It was further gathered that the suspect stormed the church, Orioke Aanu Oluwa Gbohunmi, in the Ilogbo Adu area of Kemta in Abeokuta, with weapons and met the victim sleeping.

He was said to have held the prophetess hostage while brandishing a knife in her face that he would kill her if she continued to give him a tough time.

But when her call for help from people around the premises did not yield results, the prophetess was said to have started pleading with the suspect to pity her.

Despite several pleas with Sunday, the suspect was said to have insisted on her having sex with the prophetess.
