Ondo State Police Command has arrested a pastor of a celestial church in Akure, the state capital, for allegedly raping a pregnant lady.
The suspect, who’s also a popular broadcaster, allegedly raped the 19-year old pregnant lady within the church premises.
The suspect was arrested when the victim reported at the station that she was raped by the pastor when she went for deliverance in the suspect’s church.
According to her, the pastor who’s also a radio presenter, inserted his middle finger in her private part severally while praying for her.
She said: “In the morning, I went to the hospital to register. We usually have a programme every Wednesday. On that fateful day, I went to church but unfortunately, they have ended the service.
“He collected the list I brought from the hospital. He said the items on the list given to me were too much, he later said I should go and make a photocopy which I did. After I have done it, he said I should take it to the altar. He said he will pray on the list. While sitting down, he started pressing my stomach, he asked me how many months is my pregnancy? I said it is five months.
“He said that he is going to do some spiritual work for me before my delivery. He later stood up and entered a room, he called me to enter the room inside the church. He asked me to lie down which I did, he also said I should remove my clothes. I did all the things he asked me to do
“He dipped his middle finger with oil into my private part. He said my baby is horizontal instead of being vertical. He said he would put oil in my private part and would help me insert it with his private part so that the oil would get into the baby.
“He rubbed oil on his private part and asked me to open my legs. He then had sex with me. He said he was not supposed to do it but helped me because my husband was not around.
“It was after he had sex with me that I came into my right senses. He said I should swear that I would not tell anyone including my mother. He said I would die if I told anybody.
“He did not put on his garment when we had the sex. When he was having sex with me, he gave me one small cross that I should put on my navel. He also gave me table water and poured perfume inside. He also asked me to drink a little out of the water and prayed for me. That I should be using it and that the baby would turn to normal position within three days.”
The suspect is currently cooling his feet in police custody.
