It was gathered that he defrauded

According to the victim she said,
“ he came to my shop sometimes in October 2015 and told me that there are two babies crying
in the left and right side of my womb , he said that he was a prophet and would
do some prayers for me. He also asked me to
give him hundred naira which would be used for the prayers. Some days later he told me to follow him to where they would do the prayers, so I pleaded with my husband to follow me since I could not go alone. My husband agreed to go with me.
give him hundred naira which would be used for the prayers. Some days later he told me to follow him to where they would do the prayers, so I pleaded with my husband to follow me since I could not go alone. My husband agreed to go with me.
According to the victim’s husband
Mr. Nnwosu “after she explained everything to me I agreed to go with her to the
place , but on getting to the place it looked strange like a shrine not a prayer house so I decide to do
whatever they asked me to do, so that I could leave the place immediately, they
also asked me to pay N15,000 a concoction was given to my wife but I asked her
not to use it . After some days my wife
started behaving strange she would not even allow me to make love with her every little quarrel she would run out of the
house for weeks. what broke the camel’s
back was when I started looking for my money N 100,000 that I kept in the house
, at first I asked her for the money she did not reply me well and being just
the both of us in the house and no one could have taken the money I got angry
and used the key in my hand to hit her on the head, that was how she started confessing
to me how the money went, she told me that the prophet spoke with her and told
her to go and get any money in the house, that was how she went in and gave him the money. So I started
looking for the prophet ,after some weeks, I saw him on a bike and then I asked
my wife to identify him, she said she does not have anything to do with him , I
was surprised and then I slapped her, after the slap she then recognized that
he was the man.
So as at yesterday I saw him and
confronted him he denied me, so I decide to call my wife to identify him, and I
told all the men there that since he did not agree to know me that when my wife
comes I would not say anything, and immediately my wife came she pointed him
and that was how he was taken to the police station.”
Kayode Korede was thereafter,
brought before the presiding Chief Magistrate T.A Akanni and is now facing a
one count charge bordering on fraud.
The prosecutor Clifort Ugwu told
the court that the offence was committed on October 26 2015 at no 52 , Olota
Abule Ebga Agege.
When the charges where read to the
Kayode’s hearing he pleaded guilty.
The chief magistrate however
adjourned the case to December 14 2015 for facts and sentence.
