Fake prophet imprisoned for theft: An Iyaganku Magistrate’s Court in Ibadan has sentenced a 39-year-old man, Ezekiel Onikoyi, to two weeks imprisonment for stealing a woman’s handbag after deceiving her by posing as a prophet.
Onikoyi was charged with stealing, obtaining money under false pretenses, and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
According to the Prosecutor, Sgt. Samuel Owolabi, the incident occurred on March 14 at 11:30 p.m. near the Old Toll Gate on the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway. Onikoyi approached the victim, Mrs. Balikis Adeoti, pretending to have a divine revelation for her. He instructed her to drop her bag and walk a short distance to pray, claiming it would solve her problems.
