A native doctor, Ifatade Elegbeleye, has
been arrested for allegedly duping and
impregnating a female client, Cecilia
(pseudonym), in the Ipaja area of the
state.
42-year-old Elegbeleye, who hails from
Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, was arrested by the
X-Squad section of the command after
the victim complained to the police.
According to the police, the native doctor
allegedly had a culture of turning his
female clients into house maids after
having sex with some of them,Punch
reports ..
The police added that Cecilia’s mother,
who is a trader in Abesan Estate, Ipaja,
had also been allegedly defrauded by the
native doctor to the tune of N7.9m in
2015.
It was gathered that Cecilia was taken to
Elegbeleye in November 2014, to seek
spiritual help on issues bordering on late
marriage and spiritual husband.
It was learnt that Elegbeleye, who had
his centre at Olude bus stop in the Ipaja
area, however, allegedly took advantage
of the situation to impregnate Cecilia, as
well as dupe the family.
The police alleged that the native doctor
had built two houses ─ one in Lagos and
the other in Ekiti State ─ from the
proceeds of the fraud.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro , Cecilia,
said she met the native doctor at a bus
stop on an evening in November 2014,
adding that he allegedly hypnotised her
into having an affair with him.
She said, “I met him as a cab driver
at the Iyana Ipaja Roundabout. We
never knew that the man was a
fraudster and was into occultism.
He first became friendly with my
mother. After that, one thing led to
another until he sexually assaulted
me and defrauded my mother.”
However, Elegbeleye told our
correspondent that there was no truth in
Cecilia’s claims, adding that after she
gave birth to a child for him, he rented a
two-bedroomed apartment for her.
He said, “It is true that I am a
native doctor and I treated her for
ulcer and spiritual problems. She
had a spiritual husband. She was
having ‘promise and fail offer’
from men. So, we started
befriending each other and in the
process, she got pregnant for me.
“The woman now brought
policemen to my house to arrest
me. She has a girl for me. I did not
use force to sleep with her. Can you
hypnotise a woman who does not
love you? It is not possible. She
loved me. Her family wants to take
all my property. That is why they
are lying against me. Where did
they get the N7m they are
claiming? Are they rich?”
A police source told our correspondent
that Cecelia’s child was living with the
victim’s parents in Abesan Estate.
He said, “The suspect had been in
the Kirikiri Prison on remand
bordering on a similar offence. It
was when he came out that we
arrested him for this case. He took
advantage of the lady’s problems to
have sex with her and she became
pregnant and had a girl for him.
The girl is with the victim’s family.
We are investigating the native
doctor for a case of conspiracy,
stealing and sexual harassment.”
