THE Lagos State Police Command has released a clergy of a ‘white garment’ church who allegedly raped a 12-year- old virgin at Epe, in the outskirts of Lagos.
The Guardian learnt that the said ‘pastor,’ one Alasco Sobowale of No. 10, Togodo Temu village in Epe, had sent Chinasa Ndadi on errand when he took advantage of the situation and raped her.
Men of Epe Police Station arrested the suspect at the weekend after the victim’s family reported the matter. The girl was taken to the hospital where the doctor confirmed that she was actually defiled.
To the amazement of the girls’ parents, the suspect was released on the order of the Divisional Police Officer in Epe yesterday, who allegedly disregarded the doctor’s report.
