According to reports, 33-year-old Gabriel Omogbo of Hyattsville, Maryland, has been in the habit of preaching the word of God on Sunday mornings and spending his nights hunting prostitutes at hotels. Omogbo uses Backpage.com website to source for female escorts who he arranges to meet up with and then dupe them after sexual activities.
According to WJLA, the first two attacks happened at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Rockville and on both occasions, he is accused of raping and stealing from two women he had met online. A third attack took place at the Radison Hotel in Rockville, where he is accused of threatening a woman with a knife.
He ordered the woman to take off her clothes before reportedly telling her ‘You are going to die today.’ He then beat her, cutting her arms, legs and hands and stole her iPad, cell phone and $300. The woman however survived and reported to the police, explaining how he offered her a glass of water before fleeing the hotel room.
He was arrested after police traced CCTV footage from the hotels as well as collecting DNA evidence from each of the rooms. CCTV footage showed a man matching Omogbo’s description wearing blue jeans and brown loafers entering and leaving the hotels at the time of the attacks.
He is charged with attempted first degree murder, armed robbery, first degree assault and reckless endangerment.
Omogbo is now being held at Montgomery County Correction Facility on a no bond status. He will next appear in court on January 8 and could face life in prison.
Just recently, a Rwandan pastor made the record of conducting the largest conversion of Christians to Muslims on Tuesday, August 25. The pastor, Salim Mikdad, converted all 480 members of his congregation to change their faiths. Meanwhile, hell was let loose yesterday, Sunday, August 30, at the United Methodist Church, in the Oshodi area of Lagos, when church members pursued their pastor off the pulpit.
