The lust of the body tempted a 53-year-old pastor to have slept and impregnated an under age girl and he was publicly flogged contrary to his priestly calling.
GossipMill purported that Prophet Michael of Celestial Church of Christ parish in Ilashe, Ogun State, was disgraced for allegedly abducting and impregnating a 10-year-old girl who was missing since February.
The suspect from Ondo State allegedly abducted the girl in February and sexually abused her for months till she became pregnant.
It is said that Michael hid the girl in his house despite a search party launched for her whereabouts by the community leaders, which was known to him.
According to an eyewitness, ‘’Prophet Michael seized the girl in February and kept him in his house and impregnated her. He had somehow hypnotised the girl to the extent that she would hide from her schoolmates whenever they passed through the area where Prophet Michael’s house is located.
The girl was, however, spotted by her parents on April 29, 2018, while she was sweeping the compound.
She told her parents that she was kept in the house by Prophet Michael. The parents discovered her to be pregnant for him.
The suspect was subsequently arrested on April 30, stripped naked and openly flogged at king’s palace before being handed over to the police.
