It was also gathered that the defendant in the process of having sexual intercourse with his daughter, allegedly impregnated her.

The state’s prosecution counsel, Mrs Abimbola Abolade, told the court that the defendant committed the offences sometime in 2017 at Jacob Abiola Adeleye Street, Odo-Eran, Itire area of the state.

The prosecutor also told the court that Pastor Orekoya sexually assaulted the victim, by inserting his finger inside her vagina and inserting his penis inside her mouth.

According to the prosecutor, the offences Orekoya allegedly committed contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Code Law of Lagos State 2015.

However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges when read to him in the open court. 

Justice Soladoye adjourned the case till 17 April 2024, for the commencement of trial.
