A
29-year-old pastor standing trial for raping and impregnating his
senior pastor’s daughter in Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has run away to
establish his own church, and performing miracles. He
raped the girl in July last year when the youth of the church were
having a special programme at night, but Damiolola’s mother said: “We
did not know the girl was pregnant until January this year, while he
(pastor) had hurriedly left in September 2012.”
The new church, which he started in Ikoyi area of Ikere-Ekiti, is said to be:
Attracting a lot of people, having succeeded in taking many members of the church where he pulled out.
According to Daily Sun, the embattled
pastor had been organizing revival programmes and crusade, calling
members of the public who were not aware of his atrocities to come for
miracles.
The girl, Oluwadamilola (surname withheld) who until her ordeal was a SS1 student of a high school in Ikere-Ekiti, gave birth to a baby boy on May 26, while the man was still in detention, over the matter.
Damilola’s mother told Daily Sun that the father of the young pastor had entered a written agreement with the parents of the girl in March this year, promising that they would take care of the girl and her pregnancy but the lackadaisical attitude of the randy pastor compelled her parents to report the case to the police.
After he was granted bail, he organized a thanksgiving service in his church when his lawyer advised him to transfer the case from the Magistrate Court to High Court.
It was gathered that the middle-aged pastor was married, and this was the reason he hurriedly left the church in September last year when he realized the girl was pregnant and warned her not to let anybody know.
