Wonders shall never end.A self-styled prophet, Dennis Mmadu, 35, is now cooling his heels at
Kirikiri Prison, Apapa, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, on the order of an
Ejigbo Magistrateís Court where he is facing a four-count charge of
obtaining money under false pretence, stealing and threat to life.
Mmadu had allegedly engaged Cynthia Nwanguma, a 24-year old student
nurse in a marathon sex
for seven days in order to deliver her from
barrenness. The nurse also lost N21,800 to the con prophet.
Mmadu from Imo State, southeast Nigeria, met Cynthia at Igando, off
LASU-Isheri road, Lagos and he took her in his car marked TU 806 AAA to
his house at 26, Oseni Street, New Oko-Oba, near Agege.
The victim told P.M.NEWS that she was placed on an oath not to disclose her ordeal to anyone or else she would die.
Thereafter, Mmadu had sex with her for seven days; pretending to be
anointing her breasts and private part with oil. She added that the fake
prophet also claimed he was having holy sex with her while he engaged
in unprotected sex with her throughout the period.
She said it was there he prophesied to her that she had a strange
illness in her stomach that would make her barren throughout her life
time.
She said Mmadu told her that she was lucky to have met him and
promised to offer her spiritual healing so that she will not have
problem looking for the fruit of the womb when she got married.
She said he showed her some women and men as those who have benefited
from his spiritual powers. But she later discovered they were his
accomplices. She said she was still in shock over what happened because
she did not know what came over her.
She later discovered that she has been duped. After her ordeal, she
demanded her money from Mmadu. She went to Igando police division and
reported what happened when Mmadu ignored her.
Mmadu was later arrested and interrogated. He was charged to court for fraud, stealing and assault.
The offence, the police said is contrary to Sections 36, 44, 312 and
409 of the Criminal code Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011. He
pleaded not guilty. The presiding Magistrate, Mrs. M. B. Folami granted
him bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum. The matter
was adjourned till 16 September, 2012 for mention. He was remanded in
prison custody pending when he will meet the bail conditions.
