A self-professed spiritualist, Lukman Olanrewaju, has been dragged before a Magistrate Court in the Ejogbo area of Lagos, for allegedly luring and engaging a woman, Adeniran Mutiat Jumoke, on a three-day marathon s*x "deliverance service".
The accused pretended to be delivering his victim from abject poverty and apart from engaging her in a marathon sex, Olanrewaju also obtained the sum of N208,000 from her before letting her go.
The saga started when Olanrenwaju met Jumoke who complained she was not doing well and needed spiritual assistance to uplift her to success.
The 35-year old fake spiritualist then promised to assist her but asked her to pay the said amount. He told her that the money would be used to buy some materials for special prayers.
The Oyo State-born also told her that she will subsequently embark on spiritual deliverance which involves doing 'things extraordinarily'.
The man informed her that he will engage her s*xually for three days and thereafter, perform other rituals after which she will become rich at a certain period.
The incident happened at 14, Akinlegan Street, off Dele Ara Bus stop, Abaranje, Ikotun, Lagos.
Things went out of hand after she gave him the money and did everything he wanted her to including sleeping with her for three days but there was no improvement.
Her condition reportedly became worse.
It dawned on her that it was a scam after she decided to return to the ‘spiritualist’ but met the house evacuated.
Jumoke, however, reported the matter at Idimu Police Division, which led to Olanrewaju’s arrest.
He confessed to have defrauded her as he had no such power to cure poverty.
He was charged with conspiracy, s*xual assault, stealing before the presiding Magistrate, Mr. A.A. Fashola on Monday.
In his ruling, Fashola granted Olanrewaju bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
The Magistrate adjourned the matter till December 5 for mention.
