Narrating the incident to newsmen on Friday in Abeokuta, the state capital, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the randy pastor was arrested following a report lodged at the Owode Egba Divisional Police Headquarters about the incident.

Oyeyemi explained that the victim’s mother had joined Pastor Abiodun’s church as a member and consequently surrendered the victim for the “special deliverance prayers” due to a certain spiritual problem that claimed the lives of her two previous daughters.

“The mother of the victim explained to the police that since her daughter has not been menstruating before, it was difficult for her to know that she was pregnant until seven months after.
