Speaking on her ordeal with City Round, the victim said she was deceived by the pastor to come to the church so he could help her secure a job.

She said,

“When I told my parents and brother, they said I shouldn’t go. That Monday afternoon, when I was going to fetch water I saw pastor Abraham and I greeted him and went my way, but later I saw his missed calls on my phone.

“When I called him back, I told him I was busy, but he ordered me to come to his office right now that he had found a job for me. When I got there, I went to his school office and I saw a church member there. When the pastor came in, he started to talk to me about another thing that he had been watching me and he likes me.

“I told him I don’t date married men or pastors and that we should talk about the job he asked me to come for. He said he’d give me a scholarship, that he has known me since I was young. He asked the brother to go buy me a soft drink and meat, and he started to touch his genital. I felt uncomfortable and stood up to leave his office. Suddenly, he pushed me against the wall and raped me.”

It was gathered that Olaluwoye had attempted to rape the woman a second time when she went to his office’s restroom, and was said to have offered her N4,000, but she resisted him.

The survivor said although the case was reported on the second day at Area ‘D’ Police Command in Mushin, they later withdrew it from there when they demanded N100,000 to arrest the suspect.

“We then reported at the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Agency and the case was charged to the court by the Gender Unit. Pastor Abraham has now been remanded in prison till November 5, 2024.”
