The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a pastor, Abraham Sunday, for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl, Kike (pseudonym) in Adalemo Estate, in the Toll Gate area, on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Sunday, the pastor of Christ In All Nations Church in Adalemo, was arrested by the Ojokoro Police Division last Wednesday, September 2, from where he was taken to the Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.

It was gathered that Kike, who was ill, had been taken by the pastor to a house in Adalemo Estate on August 28 for deliverance prayer when the incident occured.

It was learnt that the victim’s mother, who said Sunday was a family friend, became apprehensive after she did not hear from her daughter.

The matter was said to have been reported to the police by the landlord of the house where Sunday allegedly camped the teenager to rape her.

A police source told our correspondent that after Kike was rescued, she was taken to a hospital, where a medical test confirmed that she had been raped. The pastor was thereafter arrested.

He said, “The pastor was like a foster father to the girl. She was ill and had gone to a hospital in the area. While returning from the hospital, she boarded the same bus with the pastor, who said he would take her to a place for prayers.

“Since the suspect was a family friend, she did not doubt him. So, they went to the pastor’s apartment, where he camped and raped her for three days. The victim’s mother did not even know about the deliverance prayer.

“On Monday, the landlord and some neighbours got suspicious of the pastor’s arrangement with the teenager and they alerted a non-governmental organisation in the area, which in turn invited the police. The girl was rescued and rushed to a hospital, where a medical test confirmed rape. The suspect was arrested immediately.”

Our correspondent learnt that Kike and her mother were thereafter referred to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team and the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

The DSVRT Coordinator, Lola Viviour-Adeniyi, said the team had taken up the rehabilitation of the victim.

She said, “It was an NGO, Rubies Ink, that brought the matter to our attention.

“The girl was taken away for prayer. She was in the pastor’s house at the Adalemo area for three days, and during that period, he raped her.

“The DSVRT reached out to the victim’s mother, but she maintained that she would not pursue any case. While admitting that the pastor defiled her daughter, the mother said the pastor had a three-month-old baby, and she did not want him to be jailed.

“However, we informed the police at Ojokoro division that the state government was interested in the matter.

“This prompted the transfer of the suspect to the SDCI, Yaba.

“At present, the girl is undergoing treatment. She was taken to the Mirabel Centre.”

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the pastor’s arrest.

She said, “The police have arrested the suspect, and the matter has also been transferred to the SDCI, Yaba.’’

Too bad. All the people who cheat, deceive and steal in the name of God will be exposed and punished.
Every sexual crime like rape should carry a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison, nonsense.

oboy

pastor skibo

Is part of the deliverance now

I don't want to be rude but did the woman just say she's not charging him.... I think the pastor has brainwashed her.... So she'll now say revenge is of the Lord... Has she even considered the trauma the child has been through... I think mothers should be educated on this rape issue not just have your daughter raped and you decide to let it go..... That is like giving them the go ahead to rape more....

And now on Sunday she'll still go to his church and pray saying father forgive him for he knoweth not what he was doing.... Chai!!! Smh

"Woe to the Inhabitants of the Earth and of the Sea For the Devil is Come Down Unto You, Having Great Wrath Because He Knoweth that he Hath But a Short Time!" -Rev. 12:12

...Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth

May God have mercy upon this generation.

Maranatha!

Pls buhari make death by crucifixion punishment for rape .
This is getting out of hand.

..but when did pastors become medical doctors??

.

Wolves, lions, tigers and dragons in sheep's clothing...

Everyday someone is being raped in Nigeria.

end time pastors destroying Christianity

My people perish for lack of knowledge says the Bible.

Any Christian who fall into all these scam artists around is a fool.

Read your Bible and you'll know that you don't need anybody to connect with God. Priests are no longer needed.

What pains me most is that all these children of my Father will still go to hell after losing their livelihoods to this scamtors

READ YOUR BIBLE OR STAY OFF CHRISTIANITY

Na waooh pastor!

Pastors and crime ;DPastors and crime

Instead Wey d mama go carry her go hospital, she carry her go pastor house..I pity gullible Nigerians that believe pastors can heal their sickness instead of seeking for medical help... BTW, it is hightime our legislooters do something about rape in our society. the laws against it are not rigid enough
