My Spiritual Father Bishop Daniel Oluwafeyiropo, Sexually Assaulted Me
The Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court heard testimony from a 23-year-old assistant pastor on Tuesday, who claimed that Bishop Daniel Oluwafeyiropo had sexually assaulted her twice.
Mr. Daniel entered a not guilty plea to the amended three-count charge of rape and sexual assault and is currently on trial. At the bishop's trial, the assistant pastor gave a witness statement for the prosecution.
The witness said: "I was listening to Pastor Chris's message when the bishop came to the three-seater chair I was sitting on and told me to go naked. For fear of what happened a day before, I went naked, and bishop locked the door, increased the volume of the television and went naked also. He pinned me to the chair and raped me. He was bigger than me."
The witness said she appealed to the bishop to leave her, but he did not and threatened that she would run med if she disclosed the incident. "On June 22, I sent a message to Pastor Boluwatishe and informed him that I had been raped," the alleged victim testified.
She also told the court that the bishop did not allow her to leave the house after the first alleged rape. "I was in the room when he came again and said he wanted sex, but I refused." The witness said that, on June 23, 2020, the bishop also told her he wanted sex with her. "That same morning of June 23, he removed my dress and raped me again in the sitting room and told me I would die if I should tell anyone, I bled a second time because of the forceful entry," she said.
The alleged survivor also told the court that the defendant sent N5,000 to her from Ghana to treat herself because of the tears she had. Also, she said the bishop had asked her to swear with a rod that she would run mad if she informed anyone of the incident.
"He took me to First City Hospital, Lekki, where Dr Tina Clement, a member of the church, attended to me, ran some tests, gave me drugs and sent the results to him. When the doctor asked what happened to me, the bishop told me to tell her my friend raped me, and he was with me
throughout the tests," she said.
