Ado-Ekiti – An Ado-Ekiti
Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday
ordered that a pastor, Ilesanmi
Emmauel of Christ Apostolic
Church, be remanded in prison for
alleged rape of a minor.
Magistrate Adefunke Ajibade
ordered that the accused be
remanded in prison custody
pending the advice of the state
Director of Public Prosecution.
Ajibade described the case as a
pathetic one, especially as it
involved a minor and a person that
should be a father and shepherd of
flocks in public church.
Prosecutor Curtis Enabulele told
the court that the accused
committed the offence on July 12
at Ikere-Ekiti.
Enabulele alleged that the accused
unlawfully had sexual intercourse
with a minor, who is a member of
his church which resulted to
pregnancy.
The prosecutor said that the
offence contravened Section 23(d)
of the Child Rights Law of Ekiti
State, 2007.
According to him, the duplicate
case file has been forwarded to
the DPP, Ministry of Justice for
advice.
The Counsel to the accused, Mr
Oluwaseyi Adeniyi, urged the
court to grant his client bail and
assured that he would not jump
bail.
The Counsel to International
Federation of Female lawyers
(FIDA), Ekiti chapter, Mrs Foluke
Dada, opposed the application.
Dada said that bail if granted
would be a threat to other
children in the church and the
society at large.
She told the court that the
accused had threatened that the
victim would die within seven days
if she confessed to anyone that he
raped her.
Ajibade adjourned the case to
April 4, for further hearing. (NAN)

Pastor! Pastor! Not again.

Will be following this ...

The Court did right in holding him for the protection of the minors in his church and the society at large, pending full investigation and trial. It's very saddening when alleged molesters are released back into society knowing full well their will be no monitoring of their movements/actions or any protection in place for the minors they will come in contact with.

All those who molest children and women while hiding behind religion, government or private office will continue to be exposed in Jesus' name.

R.apis.t are usually 70% of the time people that are well trusted and looked up to and close to the victim.There are certain things every girl needs to know about rapist and how to prevent being molested. Read this post
