Anthony
Arogunmasa, famous pastor in Ikere-Ekiti Community has been arrested for raping
a 19-year-old woman in the area.
The victim
(names withheld) reported that Arogunmasa lured her into his residence under
the pretence of giving her spiritual cleansing. Describing how the incident
happened, the victim in tears, said:
“I was just meeting the pastor for the first
time in my life. He approached me and told me that I needed some spiritual
cleansing. He said that God instructed him to ensure that the spiritual
cleansing was done for me.
I fell for him because I saw people calling
him pastor. He took me to his house and gave me a candle and soap and asked me
to start praying. He also brought out certain objects which he said were prayer
items for the spiritual cleansing.
In the course of the prayers, he asked me to
remove my clothing and just tie a wrapper and I obliged. It wasn’t long after
that he suddenly jumped on me and eventually had carnal knowledge of me
forcefully.”
Though he
confessed to having carnal knowledge of the victim, the suspect said that the
victim is his girlfriend.” It is true that I slept with her on September 23,
but I didn’t do it forcefully because she has always been my girlfriend”, the
cleric confessed.
