My husband is a sex addict, fingers our daughters – Prophet’s wife tells court
A Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) prophet, Sunday Afolabi, has been accused by his wife, Susan, at an Ado-Ekiti Magistrate’s Court of sexually abusing their daughters.
Susan alleged that Afolabi was caught inserting his fingers into the private parts of their female children while sleeping in the midnight.
The woman also accused her husband of doing same to female church members whenever they come for night vigils resulting in members avoiding him.
The prophet had petitioned the court seeking the dissolution of the 21-year-old marriage.
He accused his wife of masterminding an assassination attempt on his life, fighting him in public, destruction of church property and instigating the children against him.
But the wife in her response also accused the prophet of smoking Indian hemp, drinking local gin popularly called, “ogogoro.”
She said her husband’s behaviour led to the collapse of the church as people call Afolabi “Indian hemp prophet.”
Susan told the court that she had two children, Emmanuel (male) and Ifeoluwa (female) from previous marriage whom she brought to the prophet’s home and later bore him five children.
“One morning Ifeoluwa who is just 12 years old told me that Sunday came at night to insert his finger into her vagina and I immediately rebuked her and told her to shut her mouth”, Nation quoted her.
“But the eldest, Emmanuel said he disguised as Ifeoluwa and slept at the same position she normally sleeps and also used her cover cloth to cover his body.
“When Sunday came as usual and attempted to insert his finger then discovered the person under the cloth is a boy he left hurriedly.
“One night I also caught him myself; my husband was completely naked and attempted to have sex with one of the female children.
“He knelt down and was begging me that night that I should not let people outside know what transpired. He even said he didn’t know what came over him.
“People have been saying it that he harassed females during the night vigils in church. This man you are looking likes sex so much. I even attempted to marry more four wives for him which he turned down.
“He also smokes. There was a day he gave Emmanuel Indian hemp to smoke; he even wrapped Indian hemp in the presence of my twins and take local gins. Each time I challenged him he do say he is taking it because of the cold weather.”
President of the court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, after listening to both parties, adjourned the matter to 31st of August for judgment.
Justice Maryanne Anenih of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has issued a public summons for former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello to appear in court to respond to a fresh 16-count indictment.
The summons requires Bello to attend court on October 24 for his arraignment, alongside co-defendants Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu.
The public summons was ordered following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In her ruling, Justice Anenih directed the EFCC to publish the summons in a widely circulated newspaper to ensure proper notification.
Also, the court instructed the EFCC to post copies of the public summons at Bello’s last known address and in conspicuous locations within the court premises.
The EFCC has reported difficulties in serving the charges, which were filed on September 24, alleging that Bello and the two co-defendants committed a criminal breach of trust involving a staggering ₦110.4 billion.
A Police Inspector, Mohammed Bulama, attached to the Police Mobile Force (PMF) 41 in Yobe State, has been arrested for allegedly killing a 39-year-old civilian, Abdulmalik Dauda, during a confrontation in Damaturu, the state capital.
The incident, which occurred on September 29, 2024, was sparked by a heated argument between Bulama and Dauda over “uncleared transactions” in the Zango area of Damaturu. The argument escalated, leading Bulama to fatally stab Dauda in the chest.
In a statement, the Yobe State Police spokesperson, Dungus Abdulkarim, confirmed Bulama’s arrest and announced that an investigation into the homicide case had been launched.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation into the incident involving Inspector Mohammed Bulama,” Abdulkarim said.
He further disclosed that the officer has been placed in custody, pending internal disciplinary action and prosecution.
CP Ahmed condemned the actions of the officer, extending his condolences to the family of the victim.
He also assured the public that justice would be served swiftly in accordance with the law.
The Lagos State Police Command has summoned three officers accused of extorting N1 million from members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in the Surulere area of Lagos.
Footage of the incident, which went viral on social media late Friday, shows the officers confronting the corps members, reportedly over the absence of a physical copy of a driver’s license. The video was shared by social media user Oluyemi Fasipe, who claimed that the officers threatened the corps members with firearms and forcibly took them to the Kafaru Oluwole Tinubu House, the Area C Command of the Lagos State Police, where they allegedly extorted the sum of N1 million.
“Dear @BenHundeyin, Your officers today in Surulere extorted 1 million naira from three corps members,” Fasipe wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “They were threatened with firearms, kidnapped, and taken to the KAFARU OLUWOLE TINUBU HOUSE AREA C POLICE COMMAND of the @LagosPoliceNG where they were robbed.”
Fasipe added that the entire incident stemmed from the corps members’ inability to present a physical copy of a driver’s license, a situation he described as “evil.”
In one of the videos, the officers are seen inspecting the vehicle’s documents, with the situation escalating as additional officers arrived. One officer can be seen entering the car and demanding that the corps members stop recording the incident, while also prohibiting them from contacting their families.
In response, the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that the officers involved have been summoned, and an investigation is underway.
“The men have been summoned, and their trial has commenced,” Hundeyin wrote on X. “We urge the complainants to visit the Complaint Response Unit at the State Headquarters to testify at the ongoing trial.”
