Pastor Arrested For Conducting Virginity Test On Female Member Using Finger

ABEOKUTA — The Ogun State Police Command said
yesterday, that it had arrested a pastor identified as
Adekunle Kayode, 34, for conducting virginity test
on a 20-year-old female member of his church in
Abeokuta, the state capital, using his finger.

Kayode, a pastor in charge of Jesus Is The Way
Evangelistic Ministry, Olorunsogo, Abeokuta, was
reportedly arrested by detectives attached to Kemta
Division in his house, 3, Okeyidi Street, Abeokuta.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi,
in a statement said the pastor's arrest was carried out
when the victim narrated her ordeal to her father who
then informed the police of the incident.

According to the PPRO, "there was also a drama
when the victim received 'holy spirit' which propelled
her to reveal the misdeeds of the pastor who has
indulged in this ungodly act for years.

"The father of the victim alleged that the duo were
fond of dipping their fingers in the victim's private
part even when she was menstruating for reasons best
known to them.

"She also claimed that the pastor recently confirmed
her virginity status when she was to take part in a
church programme.

"The victim has also claimed that Oluwasegun used a
charm while attempting to rape her as directed by
the pastor possibly for a ritual but she miraculously
escaped.

"Meantime, the police have recovered the charm
from the pastor within the church premises.

"The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State, Ikemefuna
Okoye, has directed that the matter be transferred to
the SCID, Eleweran for further investigation."
