Justice Olaolu Olanipekun of the Oyo State Magistrate Court Seven sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) church, Prophet Ojo Amos (a.k.a Elewuogbo).
Justice Olanipekun ordered that Elewuogbo and his two sureties be arrested and detained till the next adjournment date for refusing to present himself in court after being granted bail.
Prophet Elewuogbo is currently standing trial before the court over alleged defamation of the character of the Founder of One Love Family, Sat Guru Maharaji.
Elewuogbo and a Lagos-based blogger, Gbenga Dan Asabe, had through media publications accused Maharaj Ji of selling human body parts for money ritual purposes.
The court also granted the request for the consolidation of the cases against Elewuogbo and Dan Asabe brought by Maharaj Ji’s counsel, Dapo Akinosi.
Akinosi had prayed the court that since the facts of the two cases are related, it would be better if they were merged.
The court granted the application and adjourned the case till 30thof April, 2024. (The Nation)
