A 42-year-old Muslim cleric popularly referred to Alfa, Jamiu Mukaila, has been arrested and arraigned before an Isolo Magistrates Court sitting in Lagos State for allegedly engaging a 32-year-old woman, Bose Alele in a 3-day ‘sexual deliverance’ session.
Mukaila, who hails from Oyo State and married with four children also defrauded the victim of N350,000 which he claimed was a payment for the items he would use for the deliverance to cast out evil spirit from her at his residence in Ire-Akari Road of Isolo.
The victim narrated to the court how Mukaila had approached her and introduced himself as an Alfa, claiming he had a revelation from God that she had a Mammy Water spirit (Mermaid) which was blocking her progress.
He promised to help her cast out the evil spirit by engaging her in a 3-day deliverance session and also help her get a husband.
The acclaimed Alfa charged her the sum of N350,000 which he also claimed was to be used to purchase spiritual materials for the deliverance and also added that she must have sex with him for three days as part of the deliverance.
The victim who was still in shock believed that she must have been hypnotized by the Alfa as she went straight and withdrew the money which she handed over to the accused the next day and even allowed him have sex with her for three days.
She said she regained her senses thereafter and went to Aswani Police Division where she filed a report of the incident.
The acclaimed cleric was subsequently arrested and taken to the police station where he owned up to have committed the crimes.
