50-YEAR-OLD MAN EXPLAINED WHY HE RAPED PASTOR'S DAUGHTER

A 50-year-old man, Ayodele Ademola, who r@ped
a pastor�s daughter in Ibadan, Oyo State, has
confessed to his crime as he blamed Satan and
poverty for his actions.
On August 14, it was reported that Ayodele
Ademola, who was part of the leader of a four
man robbery gang that stormed a Pastor�s
house, robbed him of his properties and went
ahead to r@pe one of his daughters, were
arrested by the Oyo State Police Command.

FRIDAY at the police headquarters in Eleyele,
Ibadan, revealed that the failed operation was the
second in which he and his gang had participated
in.

Ademola, a father of three children, a boy and two
girls, narrated what led him into robbery: �It was
the death of my wife that plunged me into serious
poverty. I�ve been struggled to take care of the
three children she left behind, but, I must confess
to you, it has not been easy. I look around to find
what I could do to get over this problem but to no
avail.
�It was in the process that I met members of
this robbery gang at a bus-stop. We talked and
they introduced me to the business. I mean,
armed robbery business. In short, it was poverty
in my family that gave the devil opportunity to
push me to armed robbery and r@ping.
�My appeal to the state and the federal
governments, the Nigeria Police Force and
Nigerians is that they should forgive me. I will
never involve myself in all this rubbish again. I
want all Nigerians to believe that it was poverty
and [the] devil that pushed me to armed robbery
and made me to r@pe the daughter of the pastor,
my victim.
�The man of God, too, should, please, forgive
me,� he pleaded. According to the command�s
deputy commissioner of police, administration,
Sam Okalua, the items recovered from the gang
included a Sony laptop, Samsung mobile device,
Apple iPad, three assorted cell phones, a Toyota
Corolla with registration with number MK 382
AAA, a Mercedes Benz with registration number
GGE 278 CK, six assorted wrist watches,
N200,000 and other valuables. The robbery gang
on July 21, around 11.45pm stormed the
pastor�s house in Sanyo area of Ibadan, Oyo
State, as they carted away valuables such as a
Sony laptop, two iPads, a Toyota Corolla, a
Mercedez Benz, and the sum of N200,000.
The leader of the gang, however, after raiding the
pastor�s house decided to satisfy his sexual
desire thereby raping of one of the pastor�s
daughters.
The Pastor, according to the police, reported at
the Divisional Police Headquarters, Sanyo, Ibadan,
on July 22, 2014, 24 hours after the attack.

which led to the recovering of the weapons.
