“Late Prophet Ajanaku was a liar, he slept with his female aides, used bleaching cream” – Close Aide
Another shocking revelation has surfaced on the late Prophet Ireti
Ajanaku. One of his close aides who worked for him for five years,
Emmanuel Olasemeji who is a furniture maker, chatted with Encomium
Weekly on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, about the real Prophet Ajanaku
he knew and worked with.
How did you become one of late Prophet Ajanaku’s aides?
The first day I saw him, I was not attracted to him because of his
physical look. He bleached. However, when my boss who was one of his
church members introduced me to him, he prayed for me. My decision to
visit his church was based on curiosity. That was in 2007. Sincerely,
there is no way you won’t marvel at his preaching. He preached with
persuasive and authoritative words.
I was wowed. And that was when he was about completing his
multi-million naira mansion. And most of the church members volunteered
to assist the builders. He asked me to work for God in his house and do
the furniture.
I can’t lie to you, when Prophet Ajanaku spoke you would think it was
God. His church members saw him as god. He often told us that he wines
and dines with God and that if he wants anybody to die tomorrow, it
would happen. We all respected and feared him. You dare not say no to
his request.
He said he had the power to save someone from ultimate death.
My decision to open up was not to malign his character but be factual.
Even before his death, I confessed this feat openly to him. I can’t
doubt his power but not as a Christian.
For instance, someone came to see him. He said some people predicted
he was going to die at a certain date. Thus, he was warned not to go
out. Prophet Ajanaku closed his eyes for a minute and the next moment
said the man should go out that day that nothing would happen to him.
And nothing happened to him indeed.
I can say that though he was very powerful but his lifestyle and character were questionable.
How many months did you work in his house?
I stayed inside his house for nine months to complete the whole job.
The reason was that most of the job was done at night. He won’t allow
you to work on the upper parts of the house during day time until he
gave you the nod. And mostly at night. If you complained that it would
disturb people staying with him, he would say as the owner, all I needed
was his approval.
How would you describe him?
Although he wielded spiritual power but he was not a man of God. The
bubble burst some years back when one of his personal aides, Mr.
Adefeso traveled with him to South Africa on a missionary assignment.
The aide is quite educated. He is an elderly person. That was in
November 2010. And there is one thing about prophet, whenever he is
angry with anybody, he would tell the church members that God is angry
with such person and that anybody that relates with such a person would
incur the wrath of God.
Thus, once you incur his wrath, the whole church would stop greeting
you. Before they travelled to South Africa, there was an issue on
ground. He was renovating the church. He engaged the services of one of
his church members who sold woods and planks to supply the church.
I supervised the project and it was N750,000. He was to pay after the
project. After the project, he refused to pay. And the member knew it
wrecked his small business. It became an issue and it was his personal
aide, Mr. Adefeso who waded in and said prophet would pay. That was when
they travelled to South Africa. When they got back, we discovered they
had an issue.
The aide claimed he discovered some of his secrets while on the trip
but till date refused to disclose them. However, when prophet came back,
he quickly started telling us the man was evil, that we should
excommunicate him. I know him well, once he knew you had discovered some
of his negative acts, he would blackmail you with lies. That was the
same thing he did for Tope Alabi.
What are the things you discovered about him?
First, he is a chronic liar. Do you know that the money he owed he
never paid back? The matter was taken to the police at Panti and he
denied owing the man. He said he has paid him. I was shocked. They
called me as a witness. Though I was scared but I stood for the truth.
He spent over N500,000 to settle the case. And at the end we even became
the victim. He specialized in turning the tide against people who speak
the truth.
He would fabricate lies against such person. And the medium he used
most was a soft-sell magazine. Second, I can tell you authoritatively
that he sleeps with his female aides who stay in his house. He has
agents who recruit ladies in the church who are not employed.
They used their situation to entice them to work and live with the
prophet. And some only live with him for like three months before he
would fabricate lies against them and send them parking. But none of
them could disclose their ordeal because he was a god.
But what about his wife?
His wife, Joy, was staying in the upper room. She only comes down
during church services. That’s why most people don’t really know
anything about her. She dares not come down unless he gave approval.
We only discovered the truth when one of the ladies who was also the
wife’s aide known as Becky confessed to a pastor at Abuja that he was
sleeping with her. She was dating a friend of mine who was also staying
in his house. The house is so big and many of us lived with him. My
friend and Becky travelled to Abuja and he introduced her to a pastor in
Abuja. That one now said Becky has a secret and unless she revealed it,
it would affect their relationship. It took her four days to open up
that she has been sleeping with late Ajanaku. She was scared she would
die after the confession but with prayer in Abuja, nothing happened to
her. Although we were suspicious but she gave us instances which we were
aware of and revealed how other girls too were his sex slaves.
Also, most of his members go to the church with their wealth but left
poor. He was very rich. He swindled them of their wealth and virtues.
Though we have never seen him with charm before but he often told us he
knows about all incantations because he had been into all sorts of
occultism before he started his ministry.
He said they are all powerless compared to God’s power. He is a
pretender. Once he was about to discard his enemies, he would say
negative things about them and since we were not privileged to see or
hear from God, we believed him. That’s what he used on those girls too.
He bleached and encouraged the girls too to use the cream. I had to
leave in 2011. I spent five years with him.
Is it true that he once had a wife?
Yes. It’s no secret that he had a wife and two kids who died before
he started the ministry. Aside that, he had a baby out of wedlock, but
he rejected the mother.
What’s the woman’s name?
I don’t know because he was even the one who revealed it to us when
the mother came to collect the boy’s allowance of N20,000. Only few
aides knew. I was so close to him because I worked for him.
He had four rooms in that house which are exclusively his own. He had a
particular room that if he was there for three months you won’t know.
On Friday, September 20, 2013, National Encomium contacted the
ministry’s spokesperson, Tosin, over some of these allegations but he
declined to make any comment. “Please, I have nothing to say.
