44-year-old Pastor Oluwafemi Oyebola of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Ogo Oluwa parish in Ogun state, has been arrested by men of the state police command for allegedly raping his daughter on several occasions, getting her pregnant three times and forcing her to go through abortions each time.
The accused pastor was arrested after his 24-year-old daughter lodged a complaint. The victim claimed at the divisional headquarters in Owode-Egbado that her father had sex with her forcefully since 2015, shortly after her mother’s demise. She told the police that she got pregnant three times for her father, but every time he took her to a nurse who aborted the pregnancies.
She told the police that after the third pregnancy was terminated, her father did family planning for her so as not to get pregnant any longer. She got tired of his evil act and summoned the courage to report an NGO, Advocacy For Children And Vulnerable Persons Network who led her to the police station.
Confirming the incident, state police command spokesperson DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said the pastor was arrested immediately after the case was reported at the police station.
“On interrogation, the suspect made a confessional statement that all that his daughter said was nothing but the whole truth.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Anti-human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation and prosecution” Oyeyemi said.
