Police Arrests Pastor for allegedly impregnating a 15-year- old girl in Abeokuta

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested the
founder of El-Bethel Parish of the Celestial Church
of Christ, Itaaka, Abeokuta, Dr Michael Adeniran,
for allegedly impregnating a 15-year- old girl, Mary.
The victim, a Senior Secondary School 2 pupil,
attends a secondary school in Abeokuta, the state
capital.
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.
He said, “The CP also reiterated his earlier warning
to parents to always keep an eye on their children
in order to prevent them from becoming victims in
the hands of people with devilish intentions.”
Oyeyemi said the suspect would be charged to
court at the end of investigations.
