The Ogun State Police Command has
arrested a 37-year-old pastor, Segun Alawode, of the Eternal Sacred
Order of Cherubim and Seraphim, Sabo in Odogbolu Local Government Area
for allegedly raping a 32- year old- lady inside the church.
The victim, whose identity the police
did not disclose, alleged that the pastor was in a prayer session with
her when he asked her to hold on to some candle sticks and forcefully
pulled off her wrapper before having carnal knowledge of her.
He said, “Medical reports so far
received on the matter confirmed that the pastor actually committed the
offence and he has since confessed to the crime. The accused will soon
be charged to court.
“The matter is presently at the anti-
Human Trafficking and Child Labour unit of the Department of Criminal
Investigation in Abeokuta.”
Meanwhile, the anti- crime patrol team
deployed to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway arrested two suspected armed
robbers on Monday.
The bandits were said to have blocked the road in order to rob motorists near the Danco filling station.
The arrested suspects are Usman Sunday and Richard Olabode .
Items recovered from them included one
locally-made pistol, many live and expended cartridges, a knife,
cutlasses, hand gloves and charms.
