The police in Ogun State have arrested a 43-year-old pastor, Clinton John, for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl (names withheld) in the Agbado area of the State.
A spokesperson of the police command, SP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this on Saturday through a statement issued in Ota.
Odutola explained that a family in Giwa Agbado reported at the Agbado Divisional Police Station the case of alleged defilement of their 16-year-old girl by John.
“The family reported that their daughter was repeatedly treated for recurring infections and exhibited frightful tendencies that made them suspect that she might have had sexual intercourse.
“But she was concealing the identity of the person as the parents needed to persuade her and she later confessed that one John, a pastor of Mega Healing Ministry, had fiercely been having carnal knowledge of her, since November 2022.
“Their daughter further stated that the pastor threatened to kill her, if she ever revealed the cagey affair to anyone,” the police spokesman added.
She further stated that the suspect, on interrogation, confessed to the crime and admitted that he severally had unlawful carnal knowledge of the girl.
According to Odutola, the rape survivor has been issued with medical forms for treatment and examination, while the suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, Abeokuta, for discreet investigation.
