Fake Prophet Who Kidnapped & Impregnated 3 Girls In Benue State Remanded In Prison

A Makurdi Magistrates’ Court on Thursday
remanded a cleric, Elijah Ebimone, in prison for
allegedly abducting three girls and turning them
to sex slaves.
Ebimone, 32, is facing a two-count charge of
abduction and causing miscarriage, punishable
under Sections 274 and 233 of the Penal Code,
Laws of Benue State, 2004.
The Magistrate, Mrs. Theresa Wergba, ordered the
remand of the accused and adjourned the matter
till Dec. 28 for further mention.
Her action followed the application for
adjournment made by the Prosecutor, Insp. Daniel
Suende who said that investigation by the police
was ongoing.
Suende told the court that a team of detectives
led by Insp. Attai Sule, attached to the State CID,
Makurdi, received information about the activities
of the cleric on Oct. 20.
He said that the detectives immediately launched
an investigation into the matter and arrested the
accused.
The prosecutor said that Ebimone, who claimed
to be a prophet, had been abducting young girls
and using them as sex slaves.
He said that the cleric went all the way to Delta
last June and abducted one Victory Mieturda,
Dolor Dinah and Esther Young and brought them
to Makurdi.
Suende said that the man had deceived the girls’
parents into believing that he was assisting the
girls to travel to Ukraine to seek greener pasture.
“However, they got to Makurdi and he turned
them into sex slaves impregnating all of them at
different times and also causing them to miscarry
the pregnancies,” the prosecutor said.
