The victim claimed that the pastor was the first person to sleep. She is currently recuperating in a hospital.”

Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, had ordered the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and possible prosecution.
