An Imam, Rabiu Abdulquadri , has been
arrested by the Ogun State Police
Command for shaving the pubic hair of
a 22- year- old- girl and collecting her
nails under the pretext of preparing a
favour charm for her.
The Imam was
also accused of raping the victim,
Elizabeth ( pseudonym ) , in his house in
Abule - Ojo , Obafemi Owode Local
Government Area, Ogun State
Information learnt that Abduquadri ,
popularly known as Alfa Cisse,
approached the victim, who was
returning from her place of work
around 8. 30pm on December 28.
The Imam was said to have stopped
the victim at a roundabout in the Ofada
area of the state , claiming he had a
vision about her .
He was said to have ordered her to
join an on- going prayer in his mosque
before he could reveal the vision .
Elizabeth , who claimed she succumbed
to Alfa Cisse’ s bidding unconsciously,
said he took her to his apartment after
she dropped her luggage at home.
In the night , the cleric allegedly
instructed her to strip herself naked
and shaved strands of hair in her head,
armpit and private parts, after which
he had a carnal knowledge of her .
It was also learnt that he told her to
come back for a charm that would
bring favour to her the following day.
When our correspondent visited the
victim on Wednesday , she said , “He
and some clerics prayed for me . In the
night , he woke me up , collected my
nails , hairs and slept with me not
minding my menstrual discharge .
He
said he would use them to prepare a
charm for me to get favour.
“I did not realise what I was doing
untill the next day when I returned
home and my sister scolded me for not
sleeping at home . That was when it
occurred to me that I had been used .
“He even demanded more hairs when I
got there the following day. Since then ,
I have been feeling weak and I can’ t
sleep in the night . ”
