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.
It was 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 Molest 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.”
