A pastor of a white garment church has been arrested by men from the Ondo State Police Command for allegedly raping a pregnant woman.

According to the woman, Bukola, the pastor allegedly committed the crime while she was visiting his church for deliverance.

Bukola described her ordeal at the police headquarters on Igbatoro road in Akure on Friday, alleging that the pastor rubbed her private parts with ‘anointing oil’ before inserting his manhood.

She said, “We usually have a programme every Wednesday. On that fateful day, I went to the church but unfortunately the service had ended.

“He collected the list they gave me from the hospital and said the items on the list were too many. He later said I should go and do the photocopy which I did. He then said I should take it to the altar. While I was sitting down, he started pressing my stomach. He asked me how many months my pregnancy was and I said five months.

“He said he was going to do some spiritual work on me before my delivery. He stood up and entered a room. He later called me to enter and I did. He asked me to sleep which I did. He also said I should remove my clothes which I did.

“He asked me to open my legs and dipped his middle finger with oil in my private parts. He said my baby was in a vertical position instead of being horizontal. He said he would put oil in my private parts and would help me insert it with his private parts so that the oil would get into the baby.

Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, the state Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the pastor’s detention and said an investigation had been launched into the situation.

He then rubbed oil on his private parts and had sex with me. He said he was not supposed to do it but he helped me because my husband was not around. It was later after he had sex with me that I came into my right senses.”

She said, “I have not got full details of the matter but the pastor is with us and investigation has commenced.”
