The Lagos State Police has arrested a 36-year-old pastor identified as Temidayo Afolabi for defiling a 13-year old church member.
The incident happened inside his office within the premises of the Church he presides over.
The Pastor of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Kings of Kings parish in Ipaja, Lagos, reportedly warned the young girl he had sex with numerous times against telling anyone.
