Yet, the recent scandal surrounding Adeleye Dada Dollar has left many in disbelief, eroding the respect once held for him. Currently, questions are arising about his incarceration status.

A shocking incident unfolded when Pastor Adeleye Dada Dollar kidnapped and sexually assaulted the teenage daughter of a churchgoer, resulting in her pregnancy.

The Ogun State Police Command has taken Adeleye Dada Dollar, a pastor with the Cherubim and Seraphim church, into custody.

His criminal actions severely impacted the life of Adekunle Kabirat, a young girl whom he raped and impregnated, devastating her life for years. Kabirat’s mother is also a congregant of the same church.

The role of clergy varies among different religious traditions, but they typically preside over services and offer spiritual guidance to their followers.

The controversy surrounding Adeleye Dada Dollar has significantly damaged his reputation. This article aims to provide further insight into the situation.

Adeleye Dada Dollar Faces Arrest and Charges

Adeleye Dada Dollar was apprehended and formally charged for his unlawful actions that shattered the life of Adekunle Kabirat through repeated rape and impregnation.

Joke Adekunle, the mother of the victim and a member of Dollar’s congregation, shared her distress with the media.

On January 8, 2024, Kabirat left home after a disagreement with her mother, who had scolded her and prohibited her from visiting her shop.

A distraught Joke discovered Kabirat’s departure after she had packed some clothes and taken her belongings. Despite reaching out to Pastor Dollar, there was no immediate response.

When Pastor Dollar later visited, he claimed his phone was broken, preventing him from answering Joke’s calls. Despite Joke’s inquiry about Kabirat’s whereabouts, Dollar denied any knowledge.

Joke also recalled that Dollar had been present when Kabirat left and had rebuked her for scolding her daughter. During Kabirat’s absence, Dollar occasionally visited Joke to offer consolation. Kabirat was eventually found after contacting her mother.

Current Status of Adeleye Dada Dollar

Adeleye Dada Dollar has been detained by the Ogun State Police Command and is reportedly now in custody.

The victim, Adekunle Kabirat, who is six months pregnant, testified that she had been sexually abused by the pastor since 2021.

According to her statement, on the day she was assaulted, Dollar took her to an unfinished building where he raped her.

A pastor’s duty includes providing pastoral care and guidance to their congregation, earning the community’s trust as they impart religious teachings and values. The revelation of Dollar’s actions against a young girl for months is deeply disturbing and reprehensible.

In his interrogation, the pastor made a surprising plea for mercy from the public, despite the gravity of his offences.
