How I was raped and defrauded by fake prophet – fashion designer

 A 27- year-old man identified as Morufu Garba is
currently cooling his heels in police net for
defrauding and assaulting a 20 -year- old lady in
Ebute-Metta area of Lagos, recently. The incident
happened on the 12th of April, 2013 at about 10pm;
when the victim identified as Aminat Ajala, a
fashion designing apprentice at Ebute-Metta,
returned from work; tired and hungry only to
discover that there was no food in the house.
She opted to go get some toast bread at a shop not
too far from her 91, Freeman street residence,
where she and her siblings live with their maternal
grand mother, after the untimely death of their
biological mother. Little did she know that Morufu
Garba, a notorious fraudster was lurking
somewhere in the neighbourhood, looking for an
opportunity to play a fast one on unsuspecting ladies,
of which she soon became a victim.
Aminat Ajala told Crime Alert that she had walked
few metres from her residence when she noticed
that someone tapped her shoulders from behind; she
turned to see a young man, walking close to her. He
politely requested to have some chat with her, a
request she granted.
*Freeman street, Ebute-meta, Lagos.
From that moment on, she alleged she was not in
control of actions that ensued; as Morufu, told her he
is a prophet with a special message for her. He
further told her that it was revealed to him that she
will be dead the very next day if certain sacrifice was
not carried out; to this he demanded that she
provide the money by all means to enable him cancel
the death spell hanging around her.
Afraid and under the influence of some power
beyond her control, Aminat thought of ways to
generate the money, as she had nothing on herself.
She then revealed to Morufu that she is just an
apprentice and has no money to that effect, he asked
her if she knew any other means to raise the money,
perhaps through her parents, or siblings, but warned
her not to disclose the information to any one else.
At that suggestion, she told him her grand Ma, who
owns a buka on the street, has some money stuck in
a refrigerator somewhere in her shop, that she also
knows where the key is kept. He escorted her back to
her residence to get the key, after she succeeded
with that, she led him to the shop, and opened it.
They opened the door and went straight to the
refrigerator, she tried opening it, but encountered
some difficulties as the padlock used in locking it
could not open. Morufu went out side, found an axe
placed at a corner near the shop and used it to
forcefully open the refrigerator and took over
N80,000 kept t
here.
He then took her to meet another victim of his, a 22-
year- old hair dressing apprentice identified as Ruka,
who lives on the neighboring Glover street at Ebute-
Metta, he claimed he was trying to also help perform
some sacrifice to stop her mother from destroying
her life. He had charged her N10,000; and she gave
him N1,500, as what she had on her then.
They agreed he will get the money over the
weekend. After that, he led her to the venue where
he was to perform the sacrifice, some where in
Makoko area of Lagos. On getting there, he took her
to a one room apartment, spread a mat on the floor
and asked her to take off her clothes and lie on the
mat.
