The rising trend of sexual assaults on the girl child is
very worrisome. They are no longer safe because the very hands that should be
protecting them are the ones destroying them. Another provoking one that occurred
recently, 9th of May precisely calls for a high cry…a pastor
defiling a little girl. The church is supposed to be a safe haven for anyone
especially little children. But in this case, the church was the very place the
abominable act was committed. Not just in the church but on the altar…a place
where one can have a personal encounter with God.
The Pastor of Dayspring Family Chapel, Egbeda, Ibadan, Pastor
Isaiah Ojo, has been arrested for a defiling a 7 year old girl who is his
friend and co-pastor’s daughter. The little girl bled until till the 13th
of May when the incidence was reported because her vagina was badly torn due to
forceful penetration.
The little girl narrated to Nigeria Tribune that ‘’…Daddy
Dayspring asked me to lay on the rug. He laid beside me, removed my underpants.
He first put his fingers in my private part. He later put his penis in my
vagina and I cried. He removed it and blood started coming out. He warned me
not to tell anyone, saying that I would die if I did…’’
Pastor Isaiah Ojo who was also interrogated told his own
part of the story: ‘’On Monday May 9, I was in my church premises when she came
with her brother. The girl went to lie on the rug on the altar and told her
brother that her private part was itching, asking him to come and lay on her. I
went near them to ask what was wrong with her. I used my hand to help scratch
her private part. Next, the girl said ‘’Daddy Dayspring, come and lay on me
also. When I moved nearer, I could not do anything with her; I did not insert
my penis in her vagina. I brought my penis out but I could not penetrate her
because her vagina was tight. My intention was to touch her and not to damage
her. When I found out her vagina was very tight, I withdrew my penis and left.
There was no blood as at that time. I don’t know how blood came out of her’’
Pastor Ojo has been transferred to the State CID for further
interrogation and investigation.
