The woman told the police in her report that the Pastor prescribed three nights of fasting and prayer, which must be done in the church, for total deliverance, while further adding that she should come to the church with N1,000 note and a bottle of anointing oil.

Abimbola Oyeyemi, the spokesman for the Ogun State Police Command while briefing newsmen on the incident, said:

 “On the first night of the fasting and prayer, the woman 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.”

 

Oyeyemi stated that, “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 was the only way to break the bond between her and the spirit husband.”

After the woman reported the pastor, CSP Onatufe Umoh, who is the DPO of Ogijo division drafted detectives to the scene, where the pastor was arrested.

 

According to Oyeyemi, the said pastor, while being interrogated, “confessed to the crime, but claimed to have been overwhelmed by a spirit.”

 

The Ogun State Police Commissioner, Lanre Bankole has ordered the transfer of the suspect to the Anti-human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State CIID, Eleweran, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
