“Investigation revealed that the suspect is the General Overseer of Divine Land of Joy Prayer Ministry located in Agah village and has sexually assaulted several members of the church, as reported by the victims.
“One of the victims, Joy Godfrey, who bravely reported the case at the Gender Unit of the command on April 3, 2024, revealed horrifying details of her ordeal.
” She disclosed that Prophet Olayinka Ajiboye lured her into an unfamiliar house in Sango and sexually assaulted her.

“According to the third victim, (name withheld), who is also a member of the church said the suspect defiled her at the age of 13.
