The General Overseer of Mission House of Divine Land of Joy and Prayer Ministry, Prophet Ajiboye Abayomi Olayinka, is certainly a different kind of general overseer.
He has just bagged a life imprisonment over what he did to three 13-year old minors
The Kwara State High Court, sitting in Ilorin, today, convicted him of three different offences bordering on illegal sexual intercourse with 13-year-old minors.
This followed his arraignment on an eight-count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy, unlawful sexual intercourse with minors, illegal abortion, and unlawful possession of firearms.
The charges were brought under Sections 97, 235, and 283 of the Penal Code, Section 3(1) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act, 2004, as well as Section 31(2) of the Kwara State Child Rights Law, 2006.
Worse, the offences, according to the court, were committed inside the church’s mission house located in the Agah area of Ganmo, where he served as spiritual leader.
The offences/sentences, according to the court are that
- He bagged 14 years imprisonment for illegally aborting several pregnancies of his victims and threatened them not to disclose the illicit act to anyone.
- The trial judge, Justice Hammed Aliyu Gegele, said that Prophet Olayinka used his position as a clergyman to turn his victims into sex machines
- He not only abused his victims sexually, but also, physically and mentally.
- He allegedly compelled his victims to swear to secrecy with a Bible, warning that they would face death if they ever disclosed what happened
On the case of one of his victims, the court stated:
“He took her to the generator house to forcefully have sex with her using anointing oil as lubricant and also woke her up after vigils for rounds of sex”, Gegele recounted.

During the hearing, the prosecution called twelve (12) witnesses and tendered exhibits.
The victims testified that the convict administered anointing oil on their private parts in a ritual-like manner before subjecting them to forceful bouts of sex inside the mission house.
The victims of the sexual abuse were cross-examined on 11 February 2026 by the prosecution team, led by Chief State Counsel Issa Zakari.
Delivering judgement, Justice Gegele held that the prosecution had successfully proved the offences of unlawful sexual intercourse with minors, rape, and illegal abortion against the convict.
