Kwara Pastor jailed for life over rape of underage church members
An Ilorin high court in Kwara State has sentenced Ajiboye Olayinka to life imprisonment for raping three minors within the church premises.
Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Hammed Gegele found Olayinka guilty of several offences, including unlawful sexual intercourse with minors, illegal abortion, and unlawful possession of firearms.
The judge reportedly described the cleric as a “pedophile
The trial judge said the pastor repeatedly impregnated some of the victims and forced them to terminate the pregnancies while threatening them not to report.
The judge said the victims were asked to swear oaths of secrecy with the Bible under threats of death should they disclose the incidents to anyone.
Gegele recalled how one of the victims told the court how the pastor raped her inside the generator house, while using anointing oil as a lubricant.
The trial judge said the victim told the court that the pastor often woke her up from sleep after vigils to have sexual intercourse with her.
“The convict turned his victims into sex machines, abusing them physically and mentally,” the judge said.
“One of the victims narrated how the defendant took her to a generator house where he forcefully had sexual intercourse with her after applying anointing oil as lubricant.”
Gegele sentenced the defendant to three separate life imprisonment sentences for offences relating to unlawful sexual intercourse with minors.
The trial judge sentenced Olayinka to 14 years imprisonment for carrying out illegal abortions for his victims.
Gegele ordered that the pump action gun recovered from the convict be forfeited to the federal government.
