The Ondo State Police Command says it has arrested one 61-year-old cleric in Ayede Ogbese, Akure North local government area, Famakinwa Ajayi, for allegedly raping a teenager.
The pastor was also said to have had sex with the teenager at a market square at night under the pretence of organising a spiritual deliverance for her.

It said the teenager claimed the clergy first disvirgined her in his room before the market.
The state Police spokesman, DSP Fumilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the arrest of the suspect, said he would soon be charged to court.
