The victim, Bukola, while narrating her ordeal to reporters on Friday said the popular radio presenter used ‘anointing oil’ to rub her private part before he dipped his manhood on her.

The victim said, “On that fateful morning, I went to hospital to register. We usually have programme every Wednesday. On that day, I went to Church but unfortunately they have ended the service.
“He collected the list they gave me from the hospital. He said the items in list given to me were too much and later said I should go and do the photocopy saying he is going to assist me which I did. After I have done it, he said I should take it to the altar, while sitting down, he started pressing my stomach under the pretense of praying for me, he asked me how many month is my pregnancy? I said it is five months.
“He said that he is going to do some spiritual work for me before my delivery. He stood up later and entered a room he later called me to enter and I did. He asked me to sleep which I did, he also said I should remove my clothes, and I did it saying I should also open my legs.
“He dipped his middle finger with oil on my private part. He said my baby is vertical instead of being horizontal. He said he would put oil in my private part and would help me insert it with his private part so that the oil would get into the baby in order to reposition the baby.
“He used oil to rob his private part and asked me to open my legs. He now have sex with me. He said he did not supposed to do it but helped me because my husband is not around.
“It was later after he had sex with me that I came into my right senses. He said I should swear that I should not tell anyone including my mother saying that I will die if I tell anybody.
“He did not put on his garment when we had the sex with me, when he was having sex with me, he gave me one small cross that I should put it on my navel. He also gave me table water and poured perfume inside, he also asked me to drink little out the water and prayed for me. That I should be using it and that the baby will turn to normal position within three days.
“But, I was seriously panicking which I later told my mother about the whole thing and since the day he has had sex with me, the baby was not moving again, I even went to the hospital again for test and they said there was nothing wrong with the baby.”
