A statement released by DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesperson of the state police command, states that the pastor and his wife were arrested, following a complaint lodged at Adatan divisional headquarters by the victim, who reported that, while she went to the church for choir practice, the pastor’s wife called and told her to go meet the pastor in their room as he wanted to send her on errand.

”She stated further that as soon as she got into the room, the pastor’s wife locked the door from outside, consequent upon which the pastor overpowered her, and forcefully had sex with her. She explained further that the pastor’s wife later came in after her husband has satisfied himself and met her crying and she told her to stop crying as she is now a woman. She then warned her never to tell anybody or else she will die.

Upon the report, the Dpo Adatan division, SP Salaudeen Abiodun, quickly detailed his detectives to the scene, where the randy pastor and his wife were promptly apprehended.
