The long arm of the law has caught up with a 61-year-old pastor identified as Famakinwa Ajayi, for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl and putting her in a family way during a deliverance program.
The arrest of the suspect was confirmed by the Ondo State Police Command which revealed that Ajayi, a Pastor of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), allegedly raped the teenager and impregnated her under the pretense of delivering her from the evil spirit, in Ayede-Ogbese area of the state.
According to reports, the suspect deflowered the young girl in his house before dr*gging her to the market square at night to sleep with her again.

Speaking with newsmen on Tuesday, October 19, Famakinwa however denied the accusation but promised to take care of the pregnancy and the mother until the teenager put to bed.
“It is true that the girl and her father are my tenants. I only prayed for her when I discovered she is possessed by an evil spirit. Each time, we wanted to pray, she would start misbehaving. I did not sleep with her. I only confessed to the police that I slept with her because I was being tortured by the police. I am ready to take custody of the child.
“After birth, we will now do DNA to prove my innocence, but if it is discovered that I am responsible, I should be sent to life imprisonment,” he said.
