Cleric, wife arrested over 13-year-old’s ordeal
Operatives of the Ekeki Division of the Nigeria Police Force in Yenagoa have arrested a pastor and his wife over their alleged involvement in the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl.
The Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa State, Mr Iyamah Edebor, confirmed the arrest on Monday. He disclosed that the case has been transferred to the Gender Unit at the State Police Headquarters for thorough investigation and possible prosecution.
The arrest reportedly took place during a Sunday church service, causing confusion among worshippers. Witnesses said the pastor initially fled through a back entrance but later presented himself at the police station after his wife had been taken into custody.
