An Ado- Ekiti High Court yesterday sentenced a pastor with the Winners Chapel Church, Omuo-Ekiti, Enoch Gbinyiam, to life imprisonment for raping a minor in his church. Gbinyiam had a one-count charge leveled against him.
The State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Mr Julius Ajiba, told the court that the defendant raped the daughter of a member of the church during her visit to the vicarage.
Ajiba described the victim as a regular visitor to the mission house.
According to him, the victim usually visited the vicarage to assist the pastor’s wife with house chores, teach and help his young children in their school assignments.
“It was during one of her visits to the mission house that the defendant sedated a bottle of Fanta and offered her to drink.
“The minor took the Fanta and slept off only to wake up and found out that she was bleeding profusely from her vagina.”
