A pastor with a new pentecostal church located in Port Harcourt Road in Onitsha, Anambra State, identified as Nzube Ohuama, has been arrested by men of the Nigerian police after he allegedly r*ped a 13-year-old girl during a vigil night programme organised by the church.
The young girl had gone with her parents to the church for the monthly vigil when the pastor lured her into a private room attached to the church and forcefully had his way into her.
The pastor, according to information, had further warned the parents of the girl that if the evil spirit in the girl was not exorcised, a lot of harm would continue dogging them, so they had given him the go ahead to deliver her of the foul spirit but instead of doing what he promised, he ended up defiling her.
It was gathered that at about 1am when the vigil was in full swing, the pastor called out the girl and told the congregation that he had a special assignment to carry out on her and took her to the private room.
It was while he was at it that the girl’s sister walked to the pastor’s office and was surprised to hear her sister crying in pains. When the girl finally came out, she had blood stains on her and the sister pressured her into telling what Pastor Ohuama did to her.
They reported the r*pe to their parents went to the Fegge Police Station and Pastor Ohuama was arrested.
