Rugged Pastor Rapes 16-year- old during three-day deliverance prayer (See)
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.’’
