A pastor, founder of El-Bethel Parish of Celestial Church of
Christ, Itaaka, Abeokuta, Dr Michael Adeniran has been arrested by the Ogun
State Police Command, for allegedly impregnating a 15-year- old daughter of a
church member.
The victim, Mary, a Senior Secondary School 2 pupil, attends
a secondary school in Abeokuta. The suspect, according to the state Police
Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, was arrested on Saturday, November
5, following a complaint from the mother of the girl who was the suspect’s
lover and a member of the church.
Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police said,
“Trouble started when the complainant noticed that her daughter was pregnant
and she mounted pressure on her to disclose who was responsible for the
pregnancy.
"The mother, who could not believe what she heard, reported
to the police. The Divisional Police Officer, Adigbe Division, Onatufeh Omoh,
detailed detectives to arrest the randy pastor."
He added that the victim told the police that the suspect
allegedly lured her into his car on the day she marked her birthday and
forcefully deflowered her. The victim allegedly said the suspect had been
having sex with her since then.
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed
Iliyasu, had ordered the immediate transfer of the case to the Anti- Human
Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department, Eleweran, for further investigation.
Oyeyemi said the suspect would be charged to court at the
end of investigations.
