The Herbalist has been arrested for impregnating his client

Ifatade Elegbeleye, 42, who was recently

released on bail for a similar case, has been
rearrested again for impregnating another client
who was taken to him in November 2014, to
seek spiritual help on issues bordering on late
marriage and spiritual husband.
Elegbeleye, who operates at Ipaja, Lagos, also
allegedly duped the client’s mum of N7.9m. He
however said he and the woman fell in love with
each other, while the sex was by mutual
consent and she now has a baby for him.
According to the police, Elegbeleye allegedly
turns his female clients into housemaids after
having sex with some of them. The police also
alleged that he has built two houses, one in
Lagos and the other in Ekiti State, from the
proceeds of the fraud.
The victim, who claimed she was hypnotized,
said: “I met him as a cab driver at the Iyana
Ipaja Roundabout. We never knew that he was a
fraudster and was into occultism. He first
became friendly with my mum. After that, one
thing led to another until he sexually assaulted
me and defrauded my mother.”
