A pastor in charge of Life and Power Bible Church, Ogijo, pastor Mathew Oladapo, has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for allegedly having unlawful carnal knowledge of a 19-year-old member of the church (name withheld).
The command, in a press released by its spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said the pastor was arrested following a report lodged at Ogijo Divisional headquarters by the victim, who 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 which she needed to be liberated.
She stated further that the pastor told her she would undergo three nights of fasting and prayer in the church for total deliverance.
“In addition, she was asked to come to the church with 1,000 naira note and anointing oil.
“But on the first night of the fasting and prayer, she was taken to a room within the church where the pastor ordered her to pull off her clothes and undies and lay down on a piece of cloth on the floor which she obeyed.
”While lying on the floor, the pastor started rubbing the anointing oil on her body and inserted his finger into her private part. When she protested, the pastor pinned her down, covered her mouth and forcefully had sex with her with the claim that it is the only way to break bond between her and the spirit husband,” Oyeyemi said.
Oyeyemi said upon the report, the DPO, Ogijo division, CSP Onatufe Umoh, quickly detailed his detectives to the scene where the randy pastor was promptly arrested.
He said on interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime but claimed to have been overwhelmed by spirit.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP 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.
