Considering the spiritual powers attributed to prophets, prophetesses and native doctors, many jaws dropped when news broke in October that a prophetess in Ogun State was raped by a 40-year-old mason, Lekan Sunday, in a church.
It got even more interesting days ago when a man got arrested for raping female native doctor.
The 26-year-old victim and native doctor, whose name was not revealed for security reasons, that the suspect sexually attacked her after inviting her to his house for spiritual cleansing.
According to her, the incident, which left her deeply traumatized and fearful, occurred at her client’s home where she had gone to perform a spiritual cleansing ritual.
The traditionalist, who had started her practice a year ago, said the experience has shaken her faith in her calling and her ability to trust male clients again.
She said, “Out of nowhere, the guy pushed me. I fell on the bed, and he grabbed me by my arms. I was trying to process everything that was happening because I was in shock. I came here to help someone spiritually, and this is what happens to me.
“I am still very scared to practice or to help, but I know that it is not something I can stop. It is not something I can resign from and say I am packing up my stuff, I am leaving because I have been called for a purpose at the end of the day.”
Also speaking on the incident, some Kimberly-based traditional healers described the development as a wake-up call for female healers in the country on the need to be extra careful
