The Lagos state police command have arrested the Assistant Pastor of the
Anointed Chosen Vessel Ministry, Okota, Lagos, Mike Oliseh, 54, after
he was accused of defiling the 12-year-old twin daughters of a church
member and close friend.According to police sources, Oliseh who is
married with four children, lives in the same compound with the parents
of his victims in Ago palace way in Okota, Lagos state.Oliseh and his
victims fathers, Okoro, got close after he employed his services. Oliseh
who is a bore hole driller, contracted Okoro to be his
transporter since he owned a bus. Oliseh then got so close to the
Okoro's and invited over to his church.Okoro's wife however travelled on
a business trip in 2017 and then the clergymen started sleeping in
their home.Narrating how it started, one of the daughters, Chioma (not
real name), said Oliseh threatened to withdraw the support he was
giving to their family if she refuses to sleep with him. “He started to
rape me last year. He used to come to sleep in our house. He said there
was heat in his apartment. So, while my twin sister and I would sleep on
the floor, he used to sleep on the bed with my father. While my dad
slept, he would come to the floor and sleep with me. He has done it many
times. He put his male reproductive organ in my private parts. He
threatened that if I told my father, he would not take him to work
again. He and my father eat and work together, and they both sleep on
the same bed.” she saidThe mother of the victims, Chidera, said Oliseh's
evil act was brougfht to light when an elderly woman caught him pulling
down the pants of their second daughter.“On that Thursday, my daughter
did not go to school; she was alone in the compound. Mike (Oliseh) came
and chased her. The girl ran into the backyard to hide. He went there
and started pulling her pants; the girl shouted. An elderly woman, who
came for omugo (the Igbo practice of female parents tendering their
daughters’ newborn babies) in our compound and was in the room, saw
him.When she opened the door, Mike quickly brought out a phone and
pretended to be speaking to my husband on the telephone. He said he
wanted to give my daughter something, but she was not ready to collect
it. He then put his phone in his pocket and left. The woman, who
observed that he did not dial any number on the phone before putting it
to his ear, called my husband to ask the children what his friend had
been doing to them. That was how the secret was blown open. He slept
with my first daughter regularly, but had only succeeded in inserting
his fingers into the private parts of my second daughter.” the mother
saidI trusted him because I thought that he was a man of God. I have a
bus and whenever he had a borehole drilling job, I used the vehicle to
take the equipment to site. He would pay me for the service. He also
took my family to his church. Also, whenever my wife travelled, I would
take my children to his wife’s place in Ikotun. Whenever I cooked, we
would eat together from the same plate. I never suspected anything. Even
when it was noticed the first time, I doubted it. However, when he
agreed to it and said what he did was little, I became weak.” the
heartbroken brother mum saidThe case was reported at the Lagos State
Office of the Public Defender and the victims were referred to the
Mirabel Centre, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja. A
social worker at the OPD said the results of the tests carried out on
the victims confirmed that the girls had been defiled.Confirming the
incident, the state police command spokesperson, Chike Oti, said the
clergyman would be arraigned at the end of investigation.Pastor arrested for allegedly defiling church members twin daughters in Lagos
