A 32-year old Nigerian pastor, Kehinde Boluwaji, has landed
himself in trouble for allegedly dipping his fingers and pouring salt
inside a woman’s private part under the false pretence of carrying out
deliverance on her.
Boluwaji, who hails from Ondo State, Southwest Nigeria, reportedly
lied to the victim, 22-year old Busola Adebayo that she was possessed of
a strange spirit that will cause her untimely death if she was not
delivered.
He also told Busola that the bad dreams she always had will not allow
her to get a husband and when she eventually gets married, she will not
get pregnant and have children.
He told her the deliverance will start from her private part to other parts of her body.
Boluwaji then invited and locked her in his one room apartment at 7,
Arounmalase street, Ijeshatedo, Lagos for ‘prayer and deliverance’.
According to the victim, “he ordered me to remove my dress and pant
and sit on a floor and spread my legs wide open while he was busy
muttering and pretending he was praying.
“He brought out a white handkerchief and salt and first ordered me to
pour it inside my private part and later joined me in doing so. He
started fingering me, pretending that he was praying. He used the
handkerchief and cleaned it and took it away.”
On why she did not raise an alarm, Busola said she was overwhelmed by the prophecy he told her.
She was later rescued by the victim’s friend who saw her when she
entered the pastor’s room and raised an alarm. This forced the pastor to
open the door and by then she was still unclad.
The neigthbours descended on the pastor and battered him before the
police at Ijeshatedo division rescued and took him to the station.
He was charged to a Magistrate’s Court on a two-count charge of
conduct likely to cause the breach of public peace contrary to Sections
166 and 348 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
Part of the charge reads: “That you pastor Kehinde Boluwaji on the
same date, time and place did conduct yourself in a manner likely to
cause breach of public peace by asking the victim to use salt to wash
her private part.”
He pleaded not guilty.
The trial magistrate, D. T. Olatokun granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody because nobody showed up to perfect his bail.
The matter was adjourned till 11 Febuary, 2012.
