A pastor in Ondo State has been remanded in prison custody over allegations of serially raping his biological daughter.
The accused was arraigned before an Ondo court after police investigations revealed consistent abuse spanning a period of time. Prosecutors alleged that the cleric exploited his position as a father to commit the act, leaving the victim traumatized.
The judge ordered that the suspect be held in correctional custody pending further investigations and trial. The case has since attracted widespread condemnation, with human rights advocates calling for justice and stricter measures to protect minors from sexual abuse, especially within homes and religious circles.
The case has been adjourned to a later date for continuation of hearing.
