Men of Ogun state police command have arrested a pastor, Mathew Oladapo for forcefully having unlawful carnal knowledge of a 19-year-old member of his church.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi in a statement in Abeokuta said the pastor was arrested following a report lodged at Ogijo divisional headquarters by the victim.
Mr Oyeyemi explained that the victim reported that while attending the church service on the 20th of February 2022, the pastor told her that he saw a vision that she was having a spiritual husband and would undergo three nights of fasting and prayer in the church for total deliverance and also to come to the church with 1,000 naira note and anointing oil.
He explained further that on the first night of the fasting and prayer, the victim was taken to a room within the church where the pastor ordered her to pull off her clothes and forcefully had sex with her with the claim that it was the only way to break the bond between her and the spirit husband.
The police spokesperson said the DPO Ogijo division, Mr Onatufe Umoh, quickly detailed his detectives to the scene where the randy pastor was promptly arrested and confessed to the crime but claimed to have been overwhelmed by spirit.
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, Mr Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
