NIGERIA – Men of Ogun state police command have apprehended a pastor in charge of Life and Power Bible Church Ogijo, pastor Mathew Oladapo, for allegedly having unlawful carnal knowledge of a 19-year-old member of the church (name withheld).
After a report was lodged at Ogijo divisional headquarters by the victim, the pastor was arrested.
The victim said that while attending the church service on the 20th of February 2022, the pastor told her that he saw a vision that she is having a spiritual husband which she needs to be delivered.
She stated further that the pastor told her she will 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 notes and anointing oil.
The victim told the police that 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.
Upon the report, the DPO Ogijo division,CSP Onatufe Umoh, quickly detailed his detectives to the scene where the randy pastor was promptly arrested.
