40-year-old self-proclaimed prophet, Tobia Dospani, has been arrested for allegedly raping a 26-year-old woman who sought his spiritual guidance.
The incident occurred in Epworth, Harare, after the victim and her sister visited Dospani’s shrine in Kuwadzana.
Dospani, who is known as “Madzibaba Tobia,” allegedly convinced the woman that they needed to perform night prayers at her house.
After conducting the first prayer session, he suggested another prayer at midnight. The victim’s sister left, and the victim offered Dospani her bed while she slept on the floor.
Around midnight, Dospani allegedly attempted to have sexual intercourse with the woman, who refused.
He then reportedly forced himself on her, raping her without protection.
The victim escaped the room and informed her sister, leading to Dospani’s arrest.
Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the arrest and stated that the victim was taken to the hospital for medical examination.
