The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested one Prophet Olayinka Ajiboye (45) for allegedly defiling three minors from his church in Agah, Ilorin South LGA of the state.
The victims were said to be within the age bracket of 13-17.
According to the NSCDC spokesman in the state, Ayoola Michael, the suspect, specialises in harassing and sexually assaulting minors and has been under the surveillance of the command following several complaints about his activities.

“One of the victims, who bravely reported the case, revealed horrifying details of her ordeal. She disclosed that the suspect lured her into an unfamiliar house in Sango and sexually assaulted her.
“Additionally, he compelled her to swear with the Bible and instructed her never to discuss the incident with anyone, threatening her with fatal consequences if she dared to speak about it.
The second victim who suffered similar abuse (name withheld) also revealed that the suspect started having carnal knowledge with her at the age of 16.
“She further disclosed that the suspect impregnated her and gave her drugs to abort the baby, resulting in severe bleeding that lasted for several months. The suspect threatened to kill her if she reveals their illicit relationship to anyone,” he added.
Ayoola said “According to the third victim (name-withheld), who is also a member of the church, the suspect defiled her at the age of 13 but she couldn’t report to her mother because of his threat that she would die if she exposed him to anyone.”
He said the suspect confessed to the crime, attributing it to the work of the devil.
The Kwara NSCDC State Commandant, Dr. Umar J.G Mohammed, expressed concern over the infamous act and directed a detailed investigation into the matter.
