A 46-year-old Nigerian Pastor, Olamide Sobowale, of Glory Church of Christ Aladura, Ogun State has been ordered to be remanded in prison for allegedly raping a woman while bathing in his church backyard.
Pastor Sobowale, who was arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Isabo, Abeokuta on Monday, is accused of raping a 30-year-old woman, Dupe Makinde while taking a spiritual bath allegedly recommended by himself.
The prosecuting counsel, Paul Etusi, told the court that the accused grabbed the complainant while she was in a bathroom within the church premises and raped her.
Etusi said the complainant had already put the soap on her face as she began bathing when the pastor suddenly entered the bathroom, grabbed and raped her with soap on her face.
Apparently the pastor asked the woman to come to the church to take a spiritual bath for her deliverance. While the complainant was taking her bath, the accused barged into the bathroom, grabbed the woman and raped her.
