General Overseer of the Victorious Sacred Solemn
Healing and Deliverance Ministry, Prophet Oluwaseyi
Idowu has been arrested for allegedly impregnating two
sisters.
The pastor, it was gathered, also allegedly attempted to
sell their father’s two-storey building without his
consent.
Policemen from the Oko-Oba division in Ojokoro Local
Council Development Area of Lagos State stormed the
church last Sunday to arrest the pastor.
The Nation learnt that the pastor was invited to set up
his church and manage a flat in the sisters’ father’s
compound when he had accommodation problems in
Agege.
Their brother said: “I and my brothers bought my father
a two-storey building in Ogunsola close, Abule-Egba and
at that time, Pastor Oluwaseyi had rent issues. My father
allowed him to set up his church in his compound and
also manage a flat. We never knew that was the
beginning of our problems.
“The pastor held several vigils to create awareness and
public attention. As time went on, he invited people to
stay in the church and from the church they moved into
the main house. Occupants left the house for the
pastor’s people to move in and they lived there without
paying a kobo.
“Months later, the pastor said he wanted to marry my
20-year-old sister, a virgin, who just graduated from
secondary school. We never knew he had been sleeping
with her for months before then. Recently, we found out
that he also impregnated my 25-year-old sister who has
been indoors for the past nine months.”
He said that their parents were not talking because the
pastor’s congregation and family have taken over the
building.
He added: “I called my elder brother who told me to
report the case to the police. It was at the police station
we found out that he intended to sell our building to
build a new church elsewhere.”
Since the incident, it was gathered that members of the
church have vowed never to return.
An officer at Oko-Oba Police Station said: “This is not an
issue of rape; the two impregnated sisters could have
resisted or lodge a complaint against the pastor; it was
when they got pregnant that a complaint was sent to us
and we intervened. But even if Pastor Idowu is charged
to court now; it’s useless because the girls were not
raped. However, the neighbours and residents at
Ogunsola Close are claiming the pastor used charm to
sleep with them, and that is not an issue to be resolved
in the court.”
When The Nation visited the house, our reporter was told
that Pastor Idowu has relocated.
