Pastor Ebenezer Ajigbotoluwa, founder of Church of the Lord of Isreal, Olomore, Abeokuta, has said he would embark on prison ministry if pardoned of accusations of raping two underaged sisters and duping their mother of N1.5 million.
He said this on Monday while being paraded alongside 37 other criminal suspects at the state police command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The Herald had earlier reported the suspect’s arrest.
Ajigbotoluwa, 57, said he was innocent of the offence of impregnating the two teenage sisters, saying he only had sexual intercourse with one that he was legally married to.
The self-professed cleric said an evil spirit possessed him to marry the girl, adding that he knew he had sinned against God.
“There is no man of God that Satan will not hunt, except the person that his time has not come.
“If I can have favour from God, Nigerians and the government, then it is my promise that I will turn a new leaf and I will be preaching to prisoners.

“I will be going to cells to preach to them; that is the kind of ministry I want to establish to change people if God can give me the grace.
“If I knew it was bad, I wouldn’t have done it; as it’s happening now, it is a disgrace to me,” Ajigbotoluwa said.
The cleric warned Nigerians against using him as yardstick to judge other Christian preachers.
“I am crying because of God, because the name of God should not be put to shame, especially when you’re talking of white garment church.
“For my sake, nobody should desert, abuse or harass them or say that there is no minister of God or say that there is no God or say that they will not worship God. I am only a sinner, somebody else might not be,” he stated
