Pastor who prays for women naked impregnates housewife

A woman, Mrs. Omotola Akerele, has

alleged that her pastor, Mathew

Olakunle, had sex with her when she

was undergoing spiritual healing in his

church, saying the sexual activity later

resulted in pregnancy.

Olakunle, who was the head of the

Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Itura in

Iju town, Akure North Local

Government Area of Ondo State, was

allegedly fond of praying for women in

the church without their clothes on.

The 32-year-old woman, who narrated

her ordeal on a programme on Adaba

FM Akure, the Ondo State, said it was

her mother, who is a member of the

church that introduced her to the

pastor when she was battling with a

severe cough.

Omotola, who was an indigene of the

town narrated that as a result of the

sex she had with the pastor, she got

pregnant and later aborted the

pregnancy without the consent of her

husband.

She said,

"I had a severe cough and my

mother took me to Pastor

Olakunle Mathew for prayer in

Iju. After praying for me he said I

needed a shaving stick and a

handkerchief to perform the

spiritual exercise which I took to

him.

"The pastor told me that if he

wanted to use my hair to

perform some spiritual work that

would solve my spiritual

problem. On the night of that

first day we got there, he asked

me to put off my clothes in the

presence of my mother to pray

for me in the mission house.

"Since that day, he has been

asking me to come for

deliverance and when I got there

he would ask me to remove my

clothes and lie on the bed. He

would lie on me naked and be

praying for me.

"On the seventh day, he shaved

the hair of my private part and

my armpit hair and put the hair

in the white handkerchief. After

that, we had sexual intercourse

and after the intercourse, he

asked me to go and bury the

hair in the handkerchief. "

Omotola added that a month after the

sexual intercourse, she was pregnant

and aborted it but her husband later

got to know about it and sent her out of

the house.

The pastor admitted praying for the

women in the church naked, saying

God answered prayer faster while

praying naked. He explained that

Omotola's case was a spiritual attack

and she agreed to undergo the spiritual

exercise performed on her in the

church.

Olakunle, who said he had been

transferred by the C.A.C to another

church in Ilorin, Kwara State, however,

denied having sexual intercourse with

Omotola. He also denied impregnating

her but he confessed to having had

sexual relationship with Omotola's

younger sister twice and had prayed

for their mother too while being naked.

He said,

"On the third day of the spiritual

programme, I shaved the hair on

her private part and I touched it

(her private part) with my penis

and I told her to be using my

penis to rob the entrance of her

private part so that she would

discharge.

"After that, I wiped the discharge

of her private part with the white

handkerchief and I prayed for her

using psalm 24. After the

exercise, I asked her to go and

bury the handkerchief in the

bush. I asked her to call her

husband to do it for her but she

refused, that was why I did it for

her but I didn't have sex with

her."
