tAn alleged self-confessed pastor, Sadeeq Mustapha, is
facing trial at a Lagos State Magistrate Court sitting at
Ogba, Agege where he has been charged with alleged
attempt To Molest two men....
Sadeeq (27) allegedly attempted to forcefully have sexual
intercourse with a transporter, Oladimeji Taiwo, and a
teacher, Yusuf Idowu, on October 9 and 10. The incident
allegedly took place at No 9 Disu Akogun Street, Dopemu,
Lagos.
The two-count charge against the suspect read: “That you,
Saseeq Mustapha, on the 9th day of October, 2015 at 9,
Disu Akogun Street, Dopemu, Agege, in the Ikeja
Magisterial District, did conduct yourself in a manner likely
to cause the breach of peace by forcefully wanting to have
sex with one Oladimeji Taiwo ‘m’ and thereby committed
an offence punishable under Section 166 (d) of the
Criminal Laws of Lagos, Nigeria, 2011.
“That you, Sadeeq Mustapha, on the 10th day of October,
2015, at about 02.30hrs, at the same place and magisterial
district, did forcefully wanted to have sex with one Yusuf
Idowu ‘m’ by ordering him to pull off his clothes and
committed an offence punishable under Section 166 (d) of
the Criminal Laws of Lagos, Nigeria, 2011″.
The suspect pleaded not guilty to the charges and was
granted bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in
like sum.
In his statement to the police, Oladimeji, one of the
alleged victims narrated that the defendant met him in
Dopemu area of the state, introduced himself as a pastor
and then asked him for road direction around the area.
After directing him, the alleged victim said the suspect
requested to pray for him and that, since he liked
associating with men of God, he took him (the pastor) to
his house where he introduced him to his fellow tenants as
a brother.
Oladimeji explained that they went into prayer session
after the suspect had “blessed a table water he bought” on
their way home, saying the prayer, which started late in
the night, lasted for some time. He alleged that while the
prayer lasted, the suspect ordered him to pull off his
trousers and shirt, which he did. He added that, at a point,
he started noticing some moves by the suspect and, as
such, decided not to close his eyes anymore.
Oladimeji further alleged that the suspect’s mood changed
as he asked him to lie down flat because, according to the
suspect, the level of prayer they were about to go into
required that he (the suspect|) lies on top of the person
receiving the prayer. But that on noticing that the suspect
was about to sleep with him rather than pray for him, he
stood up, directed his gaze at the suspect, who had noticed
a resistance to his intention, and warned him sternly
against the attempt. He said he called off the prayer and
sat down wondering with disbelief the alleged attempt To
Molest him.
He said that because he didn’t want to disgrace a man who
said he was a man of God and the fact that he had already
introduced him as a brother, he allowed the suspect to go
in the morning, unmolested, but told him never to come to
his house again.
Oladimeji said that after that, he left for work and did not
return till the following morning. Upon his return, the
alleged victim was amazed to still meet the suspect in his
house.
This was because the second victim, Yusuf, who only saw
the Sadeeq and his co-tenant the previous night, did not
know what had happened and, as such, had admitted the
suspect into his apartment the second night during which
the defendant allegedly attempted To Molest him in the
same manner he tried To Molest Oladimeji the previous
night.
On sighting the suspect, the latter said he ordered him to
leave the house immediately but that Mustapha refused,
prompting him to pick up a machete to attack him but for
the intervention of neighbors who were later shocked to
hear what the suspect allegedly did to his two victims. Still
reluctant to leave the house, Oladimeji said he called his
uncle, who instructed him to get the suspect arrested,
which he did.
