The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told newsmen on Wednesday that the the Pastor confessed to the crime that he was overwhelmed by a Spirit, hence the committed the act.

He said the victim reported the case to the Ogijo Police Division where the DPO, CSP Onatufe Umoh, detailed his men to the scene and the randy Pastor was arrested.

According to him, “on the first night of the fasting and prayer, the woman was taken to a room within the church where the pastor ordered her to pull off her clothes and undies and lay down on a piece of cloth on the floor which she obeyed.”

“While lying on the floor, the pastor started rubbing the anointing oil on her body and inserted his finger into her private part.”

“When she protested, the pastor pinned her down, covered her mouth and forcefully had sex with her with the claim that it was the only way to break the bond between her and the spirit husband.”
