A youth pastor at the Deeper Living Bible Church in Lagos state, Pope Paul, is accused of defiling and raping a teenage girl.

The victim claimed that when she was 15 years old and lived with the cleric, the abuse began.
The survivor described her experience to the court, saying that she first met the cleric when she moved in with his wife, Sister Lydia. She claimed that after she returned to Ibadan after a holiday visit with the pastor’ s wife in 2016, Sister Lydia urged her to move in with her after getting her mother’ s approval. ” When I started back in SS1, I was enrolled in a private school. Only on holidays do I visit my parents again. The victim claimed the cleric touched her breasts secretly to begin the alleged sexual abuse. Pope Paul approached her on February 17, 2018, she said, ” began with a rough play and then bumped into me. I saw this passionate face on him.
” Since no one was around, he began caressing me. He covered my lips with his hand as he inserted his fingers into my intimate area before moving on to stroke my breasts. Blood was dripping from my intimate area when he touched it. The victim testified in court that during the alleged rape incident, the cleric played a ” Christian message” and turned up the volume so that no one could hear the victim’ s voice.
According to her, the cleric threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Also, the victim described how the priest visited her room one night, dragged her to the kitchen, and engaged in sexual activity with her there. She testified in court that her mother watched her when she arrived home and administered a pregnancy test, which was successful.
” When my mother phoned the pastor, he apologized, begged God’ s pardon, and knew that God had pardoned him, ” she added.
” My mother told him to tell his wife about the pregnancy, but he refused and then denied that he had pregnant me. This led my mother to submit the matter to the police, and he was then taken into custody. “
