A  54-year-old Bishop, Stephanos Lucky Enofe, who recently married a 15-year-old girl in Lagos State has been arrested by operatives of the Gender Unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the state’s police command, in Yaba.

The suspect, a father of four, had allegedly impregnated the girl, a Junior Secondary School (JSS) 2 student during the COVID-19 lockdown, and in a bid to cover his shenanigans, opted to marry her.

The parent of the girl also members of the church, had allegedly consented to the illegal marriage, as bride price was paid in August and the girl asked to move in with the Bishop.

It was also gathered that the suspect’s first wife, who discovered the cruel act three (3) years ago had moved out of his house, refusing to return to him despite attempts to reconcile the couple.
The Bishop is presently at the SCID, Yaba where he’s being questioned for having sexual relations with an underage girl and for illegal marriage
