A 35-year-old fake spiritualist, Lukman Olanrewaju, has been arrested and charged before a Lagos court after he allegedly lured and engaged a woman, Adeniran Mutiat Jumoke, in three-day sex deliverance from poverty in Lagos, Nigeria.
Olanrewaju allegedly carried out the act at 14, Akinlegan street, off Dele Ara bus stop, Abaranje in Ikotun, Lagos.
Apart from engaging Jumoke in marathon sex, he also allegedly obtained N208,000 from her.
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Olanrewaju, who claimed to be a spiritualist, met Jumoke who complained to him that she was not doing well and needed spiritual help to enable her succeed.
He asked her to pay him N208,000 to buy some items for prayer and also told her she will undergo spiritual deliverance which involved doing an extraordinary thing.
He then informed her that he will engage her in a marathon sex that will last three days.
Olanrewaju also said he will perform other rituals to make her become rich.
She gave him the money and did other things he requested including sleeping with him for three days.
Trouble started after Olanrewaju obtained the money and there was no improvement in her situation.
She said her condition even became worse and when she went to complain to Olanrewaju, he had disappeared into thin air.
It was then it dawned on her that she had been defrauded.
Jumoke then went to Idimu police division and reported the matter and the police trailed and arrested Olanrewaju from his hideout.
He allegedly confessed to the police that he only duped her and had no such power to ‘cure’ poverty.
Oyo State-born Olanrewaju was charged with conspiracy, sexual assault and stealing before a Magistrates’ court sitting in Ejigbo under the Criminal Code and he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mr A. A. Fashola granted Olanrewaju bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail.
The matter was adjourned till 5 December, 2016.
