Ogun State Police command has arrested Pastor Peter Taiwo of a Church Abeokuta and his wife Elizabeth for allegedly conniving to defile a 16 year old choir member of the church.
The Command’s Spokesman, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi said in a statement in Abeokuta that the suspects were arrested after the victims had reported the incident at Adatan divisional headquarters.
Mr Oyeyemi said the victim told the policemen that she had gone to the church for choir practice when the pastor’s wife said her husband wanted to send her on errand.
The victim claimed that the pastor’s wife allegedly locked door and the pastor forcefully had sex with her.

He said the victim had been taken to hospital by the police for medical treatment.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Lanre Bankole, has ordered the transfer of the suspects to anti human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation, with the view to charge them to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
