A pastor of a pentecostal church in Satellite Town, Lagos, (names witheld) has been arrested by the police for allegedly having sexual relationship with six under-age boys in his parish.

Nigerian Tribune learnt that the pastor, who is in the custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Panti, Yaba, was earlier detained by the police at Agboju but released on bail.

While he was on police bail on April 23, NAN correspondents met him at his church. Though he confirmed that he had a "minor issue" with the police, he declined to say if it had to do with the alleged homosexual relationship.

A senior police officer at CID, Panti, Yaba, on Thursday confirmed that the pastor was re-arrested and detained to enable police detectives investigate the matter without interference by the suspect.

NAN was able to interview two of the alleged victims of the pastor. The boys, aged 15 and 16, alleged that they each got a GSM handset the first time the suspect lured them into the act and had subsequently been showered with cash and material gifts.

NAN reliably gathered that the pastor's secret dealing with the boys came into the open after one of his alleged victims refused to follow his parents to the pastor's church for prayers, describing the 'man of God' as evil.
