Redeemed Christian Church Interpreter Molests 12-Year-Old Girl, Church Attempts Cover Up

redeemed_church_or_something_logoAn interpreter with the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, identified as Akin Adewale, has been arrested for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl. The suspect allegedly committed the crime in his home located at number 6, Shamusideen, Oke-Sokori area of the town when his wife was not at home.

The victim is said to be daughter of a church member of the suspect’s church, and was residing with the suspect and his wife, alongside their two kids.

After violently raping the 12-year-old, the church leader threatened her and asked her not to tell anyone, the victim’s mother said. The traumatized girl defied the threats, ran to the house of her biological parents and crying profusely, narrated the event to her mother.

The victim’s mother reported to the Ogbe Unit of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC), who arrested the suspect.

Mr. Adewale, a commercial photographer, confessed to the crime and blamed the devil for the act.

In his statement to the OPC, the suspect confessed that he used a cloth to cover the victim’s mouth before forcefully raping her. He confessed that after he had his way, he threatened her and then gave her pain killers.

The mother of the victim, in her statement, said her daughter fled the couple’s home and came to her crying profusely about her nasty and ugly experience.

“My daughter came home crying and telling me she was no more interested in staying with daddy Favour (the suspect). She narrated a shocking revelation that the man covered her mouth with cloth and had sex with her,” she said.

The mother said she reported the case to her husband, who decided that the alleged rapist must be arrested and prosecuted.

The victim has been taken to a private hospital located at Totoro area of the town for medication, while a laboratory investigation was also conducted at a private Diagnosis Laboratory situated along NTA road, Abeokuta.

Church seeks to cover the suspect up

Investigations revealed that officials of the church were frantically making moves to cover up the crime, as emissaries were sent to the victim’s parents and the OPC to appeal to them. When contacted, the zonal coordinator of the OPC, Akeem Bakenne, confirmed the arrest of the suspect, adding that investigation is still ongoing and the case will be handed over to the police later. The case was yet to be reported to the police as at the time of this report.

  2. They condemned Muslims for marrying at the age of 18, they further accused ISLAM for giving its follower choice to marry more than one wife if they wish, It is true that they don’t know the wisdom behind that.
    They fail to realized that because they have been influenced by some of the people they think they are more superior to them. The truth is we should free our mind and just think and follow the right path.

  3. @fatimat & all d kafirai calling blessed Christians arna, u people lack shame bcos upon d 4 wives ur people still rape kids of 3 to 6 yrs old. What ‘ll u say about dat? Karshen kafirci kenan ai. You people keep hiding it wit all those ur so-called hijab and what have you. Come and visit d jungle where I am, dominated by your kafirai brothers and sisters see cases of vvf smelling here and there. Arna irin ku har kuna da bakin magana. INFIDELS dont talk when reputable people of God are talking… Fatimat & co. take note.

  4. The Yorubas will never see wickedness in this,if it were an Igbo man they will start making their mumu mouth.i have never seen an eye service and pretenders like the Yoruba man.That man must be a ritualist,yet they hated Igbos cos we work hard.

  5. This man in question is also a man like u. He is not an angel. Just that he allow the devil to take hold of him. Hey! Stop passing judgement, you are not God. Only God knows the number of secrete sins you involve yourself in everyday.Information Nigeria, you putting the logo of that church here is uncalled for.

  6. Thank God for the girl’s courage, unfortunately, the deed had been done. May God heal her sooner than expected. SHAME ON THOSE THAT TRIED TO COVER IT, probable to SAVE THE WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING. If their precious daughter was the victim, would they have covered it up. THANK GOD FOR JESUS before whom we all are naked. They forgot that God saw it. By covering it they are doing themselves more harm than good. The so called interpreter will take it to the NEXT LEVEL, come back and interpret the word of God. My God is not/ cannot be mocked.
    MY co parents, the world is very wicked, KEEP YOUR EYES OPENED ON YOUR DAUGHTERS.

  7. U should stop blaming and accusing only Yorubas for this. It doesn’t mean if a particular person does something then u should blame his tribe or religion, we are all human beings and we are not perfect.
    Muslims and Christians we should just join our head to be one nd to stop be influenced by our religious leaders instead we should find the truth and follow for u are going to be judge according to what u did.

  8. the offender will have to face the law if found guity, the fact that he is a member of a church has nothing to do with him being human band to err, hence the focus should be on the offender rather than the church.
