The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 37-
year-old pastor, Segun Alawode of Eternal Sacred
Order Cherubim and Seraphim Church Sabo,
Odogbolu, in Odogbolu Local Government Area of
the state 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 suddenly forcefully pulled off
her wrapper before he eventually had unlawful
carnal knowledge of her.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Mr.
Muyiwa Adejobi, said the victim and her relations
later reported the matter to the police and anti-
crime team attached to Odogbolu Division.
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 matter 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, Abeokuta.”
In another development, the mobile anti-crime
patrol team deployed along the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway arrested two suspected armed robbers
on Monday.
The bandits were said to have blocked the road in an
attempt to rob motorists and commuters at Danco
filling station, located after the Redemption camp.
The suspects arrested are Usman Sunday and Richard
Olabode, both residents of Sagamu.
Items recovered from them include one locally
made pistol, many live and expended cartridges,
sharp knife, cutlasses, hand gloves and assorted
charms.
Adejobi said the suspects had been handed over to
the Divisional Police Officer, Sagamu, Adebowale
Lawal, a chief superintendent of police, for
preliminary investigation before the matter will be
transferred to the Department of Criminal
Investigation Eleweran, Abeokuta as directed by the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye for
further investigation.
