According to the woman’s account, her family had advised her against the meeting, but after receiving multiple calls from Olaluwoye, she visited his office. She said he initially promised her a job, but quickly shifted the conversation, making unwelcome advances. Despite her objections, she alleged that the pastor became forceful and assaulted her.
The woman said Olaluwoye attempted a second assault when she went to the restroom, offering her N4,000, which she refused. Following the incident, she reported the case to the Area ‘D’ Police Command in Mushin. However, her family withdrew the case after being asked for N100,000 to process the arrest. The Lagos State Domestic and segxwal Violence Agency then took over, leading to Olaluwoye’s remand by the court, pending a hearing on November 5, 2024.
