Pastor Nabbed over Alleged Rape of 12-yr Old Housemaid

Members of the Odua Peoples Congress, OPC, in Abeokuta, yesterday, arrested a Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, pastor for allegedly raping a 12-year old housemaid. 

It was gathered that the pastor, who was an interpreter with the church, committed the crime in his home at 6, Shamusideen, Oke-Sokori area of the town while his wife was away. His Luck,  however, ran out when the girl reported the incident to her parents, which prompted his arrest.It was also gathered that the victim’s mother who could not stomach the incident informed the Ogbe unit of OPC and subsequently effected his arrest. The pastor, who is also a commercial photographer, confessed to the crime, saying he was influenced by devil (as usual). 

When contacted, the Zonal Coordinator of OPC, Akeem Bakenne, confirmed the arrest of the suspect, adding that investigation has commenced. He also said they would hand over the suspect to the police. The alleged rapist explained how he committed the offence: he said he had to use a cloth to cover the victim’s mouth before he could have carnal knowledge of the girl. He further confessed that after the act, he warned her against revealing the secret while he gave her pain killer tablets.However, the church was said to be making moves to cover up the crime as emissaries were said to have been sent to the victim’s parents and OPC. It was learnt that  the victim had been taken to a private hospital located at Totoro area of the town for medication, while a laboratory investigation was also conducted at a private diagnosis laboratory in Ogbe.
