Ogun State Police Command has arrested a pastor in Owode Egba, of Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, Mr. Michael Abiodun for impregnating a twelve-year-old member of his church that has been put to bed.

According to a statement by the spokesman of the command, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi, the pastor was arrested after a complaint was lodged by the victim’s mother, who joined the church as a result of a spiritual problem that led to the death of two of her daughters.

He said the pastor, a father of three, requested the victim’s mother to send her for special prayer leading to the abuse of the minor.

Mr Oyeyemi said the accused had confessed to the crime, blaming it on the devil. 

He hinted that the victim was delivered of a baby three months ago and also informed the police that she was threatened by the acclaimed pastor of dear consequences if she confessed.

Mr. Oyeyemi said the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Lanre Bankole, has ordered the transfer of the suspect to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution.
