The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Omolola Odutola, in a statement on Saturday night, said John has been having unlawful carnal knowledge of the girl since 2022 when she was barely 14 years old.
Odutola stated that the victim told the police that the 43-year-old Pastor had always threatened to kill her if she ever revealed the sordid affair to anyone.
She said the family of the victim reported the incident to the police after being suspicious that their daughter might have been sexually assaulted after being treated for reoccurring infections.
