A
sign of the end time was manifested by a 62-year-old pastor in Ibadan, Pastor
Isaiah Ojo, when he allegedly took the seven-year-old daughter of his friend
and fellow pastor, Bidemi (not real name), laid her on the altar of his church
and had carnal knowledge of her.
Though
the incident occurred on Monday, May 9, 2016, the little girl had yet to stop
bleeding as at Friday, May 13, when Crime Reports stumbled on the story. It was
learnt that the randy pastor was arrested on Thursday, May 12 by Egbeda
Division of the Oyo State Police Command after initial disappearance, but it
was unclear what his motive was in committing the act on a church altar.
Information
gathered by Crime Reports revealed that Ojo who is the founder and pastor
Dayspring Family Chapel, Egbeda area, Ibadan, committed the act when the
seven-year-old girl went to the church premises with her younger brother to
play, as they were wont to do.
The
girl’s vagina was reportedly badly torn by forced penetration that she had been
bleeding since the occurrence.
Narrating
her experience in the hands of Daddy Dayspring, as the suspect was popularly
called, to Crime Reports, Bidemi said: Daddy Dayspring is my father’s friend.
On Monday, my younger brother and I went to greet him. While my brother was
playing outside, Daddy Dayspring asked me to lay on the rug.
“He
laid beside me, removed my underpants and then removed his trousers. He first
put his fingers in my private part. He later put his penis in my vagina and I
cried. He removed it and blood started coming out. He warned me against telling
anyone, saying that I would die if I did. It was when I went outside to urinate
that I noticed that blood was coming out of my private part.”
Narrating
how he discovered his daughter’s condition, the victim’s 50-year-old father,
who would simply be identified as Pastor T, stated: “I was not aware of what
happened on that Monday because I attended a revival held by Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria, Egbeda. On Tuesday evening, I overheard her elder
brother saying: “tell Mummy”, but I did not pay attention because I thought it
was the usual children’s pranks.
“It
was my wife who told me to check my daughter’s private part and when I did, I
noticed that her pants were stained with blood. Thinking that something injured
her, I quickly rushed her to the healthcentre; but was surprised when I saw
that the blood was coming from her private part when the nurses checked her.
She was treated and we returned home.
“The
following day, Wednesday, we noticed that she was still bleeding so we took her
back to the health centre. A senior nurse started interrogating her and it was
there she revealed that it was my pastor friend who raped her.
She
said further that the suspect warned her against telling anyone or else she
would die. We are both members of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN),
Egbeda branch, and I have informed the leadership.”
When
Crime Reports sought the suspect’s explanation of his side of the story, the
pastor, who obviously knew that his deed was shameful, stammered and stumbled
over words in his attempt to explain what he did to the minor. Several times,
he swallowed hard and muttered ‘Oh! God’ as he talked.
According
to Pastor Ojo, who lives at Adekola area of Ibadan, “the little girl and her
younger brother used to come to me to play. Her father is a close friend of
mine.
“On
Monday May 9, I was in my church premises when she came with her brother. The
girl went to lay on the rug on the altar and told her brother that her private
part was itching, asking him to come and lay on her. They used to play on the
rug before then.
I
went near them to ask what was wrong with her. I had to use my hand to help her
scratch her private part. After that, the girl said: “Daddy Dayspring, come and
lay on me also. When I moved nearer, I could not do anything with her; I did
not insert my penis in her vagina.
“What
happened next was that I brought my penis out but I could not penetrate her
because her vagina was tight. My intention was to touch her, not to damage her.
When I saw that her vagina was very tight, I withdrew my penis and left. There
was no blood at that time. I don’t know how blood came out of her.”
When
asked when last he had sex with his wife, he said six months ago, adding that
it was for health reasons. He denied having sex with the girl for ritual
purpose, saying she was young enough to be his granddaughter.
When
contacted, the police image maker in Oyo State, DSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed
the story, saying that the suspect had been transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department for further investigation.
