A 35-year-old prophet, Favour Emmanuel, on Monday appeared before an
Ojokoro Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, and charged with attempt to r*pe his
client. Emmanuel, who resides in Adedokun Street, Baruwa, Ipaja, was
arraigned on four-count charge of attempted r*pe, undressing without...
consent, breach of peace and provocation. The prosecutor, Insp. Clara
Olagbayi, told the court that the offence was committed at the accused
office in Baruwa Ipaja on Oct. 21. Olgbayi said the complainant went to
the prophet for prayer, but the accused assaulted her by undressing her
and was about raping her when she cried out for help. She said it was
the screaming of the complainant that attracted the neighbours, who then
rescued her and reported the incidence to the police. The prosecutor
said the offence contravened sections, 134, 185, 188 and 261 of the
Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. The accused pleaded not guilty. The
Magistrate, Mrs A.0 Layinka, granted bail to the accused in the sum of
N500, 000 with two sureties in the like sum. She adjourned the case to
Nov. 29, for mention.
