PUNCH Metro learnt that 42-year-old Elegbeleye, who hails from Ado-Ekiti,
Ekiti State, was arrested by the X-Squad section of the command after the
victim complained to the police.
The suspect was said to have been arrested on December 21, 2015.
Elegbeleye, who told PUNCH Metro that he had sex with the lady, added that he
and the woman fell in love with each other, while the sex was by mutual
consent.
Elegbeleye added that the victim had given birth to a baby girl for him.
According to the police, the native doctor allegedly had a culture of turning
his female clients into house maids after having sex with some of them.
The police added that Cecilia’s mother, who is a trader in Abesan Estate,
Ipaja, had also been allegedly defrauded by the native doctor to the tune of
N7.9m in 2015.
Our correspondent gathered that Cecilia was taken to Elegbeleye in November
2014, to seek spiritual help on issues bordering on late marriage and
spiritual husband.
It was learnt that Elegbeleye, who had his centre at Olude bus stop in the
Ipaja area, however, allegedly took advantage of the situation to impregnate
Cecilia, as well as dupe the family.
The police alleged that the native doctor had built two houses ─ one in Lagos
and the other in Ekiti State ─ from the proceeds of the fraud.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro, Cecilia, said she met the native doctor at a bus
stop on an evening in November 2014, adding that he allegedly hypnotized her
into having an affair with him.
She said, “I met him as a cab driver at the Iyana Ipaja Roundabout. We never
knew that the man was a fraudster and was into occultism. He first became
friendly with my mother. After that, one thing led to another until he
sexually assaulted me and defrauded my mother.”
However, Elegbeleye told our correspondent that there was no truth in
Cecilia’s claims, adding that after she gave birth to a child for him, he
rented a two-bedroomed apartment for her.
He said, “It is true that I am a native doctor and I treated her for ulcer and
spiritual problems. She had a spiritual husband. She was having ‘promise and
fail offer’ from men. So, we started befriending each other and in the
process, she got pregnant for me.
“The woman now brought policemen to my house to arrest me. She has a girl for
me. I did not use force to sleep with her. Can you hypnotise a woman who does
not love you? It is not possible. She loved me. Her family wants to take all
my property. That is why they are lying against me. Where did they get the N7m
they are claiming? Are they rich?”
A police source told our correspondent that Cecelia’s child was living with
the victim’s parents in Abesan Estate.
He said, “The suspect had been in the Kirikiri Prison on remand bordering on a
similar offence. It was when he came out that we arrested him for this case.
He took advantage of the lady’s problems to have sex with her and she became
pregnant and had a girl for him. The girl is with the victim’s family. We are
investigating the native doctor for a case of conspiracy, stealing and sexual
harassment.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmus, confirmed the arrest.
She added that Elegbeleye would be charged to court as soon as investigations
were concluded on the matter.
She said, “The matter is being investigated by operatives of the X-Squad after
a petition was received by the Commissioner of Police. Investigation is still
ongoing on the matter, and the suspect will be charged to court once
investigation is concluded.”
