Pastor nabbed for raping member's 13year old girl

 Police in Imo State have arrested
the General Overseer and head of a popular church in
Ikeduru council area of the state, for allegedly raping
a 13-year-old girl. This followed a petition written to the Owerri Police
Area Command by the lawyer to the father of the
alleged rape victim, Mr Emperor Iwuala. The father of the victim,  a widower and does not
want his name in print, had alleged that the pastor
severally raped his daughter between 2010 and 2013. According to him, “Between 2010 and 2013, I was
sick and a friend of mine introduced me to the
prophet. Because of my sickness, I lost my job as a
luxury bus driver and also my accommodation in
Naze Owerri. “Consequently, the prophet offered me
accommodation in his house which he also uses as
church. I moved in with my two little daughters.
Because of my condition then, I did not know that the
prophet was taking advantage of my predicament to
defile one of my daughters. “One of the days, his wife caught him trying to abuse
my daughter and she raised the alarm, which made
the husband to send her packing. “Because of that, I sent my children away but the
prophet threatened me, saying that I must bring my
children back to the church. It was when my
daughters went out of the prophet’s custody that they
could narrate their ordeal to me. “Ironically, the prophet went to the police recently to
report that I arranged to kidnap my daughters from his
house.” Confirming the  petition,  Iwuala also disclosed that
the said prophet was currently under investigation by
the police for buying an alleged stolen vehicle.  He
applauded the security operatives for the impressive
manner they are handling the matter. When the suspect’s prayer house was visited, a
worshipper who spoke on condition of anonymity
confirmed that the pastor was arrested by the police
and was still in their custody.
