A Nigerian pastor, Michael Oluronbi and his wife Juliana, have been sentenced to jail for 34 years in the United Kingdom. Oluronbi was found guilty of sexual offences against six women and a man.

The Nigerian clergyman based in UK was accused of abusing children and adults for over 20 years after convincing them to take part in “spiritual bathing to cleanse them of evil spirits.” Olurnobi was jailed for 34 years for offences of multiple rapes of members of his congregation. Birmingham Crown Court convicted Oluronbi of “fifteen counts of rape, seven counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault and at least 88 separate occasions on which he raped his victims.

Oluronbi was linked to a Christian church in Edgbaston, Birmingham, the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, whose roots were in Nigeria. He had set up his own splinter group at another address and from where he began the “spiritual bathing.” The jury heard how the offences took place in Birmingham and London. Sentencing “arrogant” Oluronbi, Judge Buckingham said: “You claimed that God was instructing you to conduct holy baths. Its real purpose was to fulfil your insatiable sexual appetite.
