Pastor molests female church member for
refusing to marry him.
A 29-year-old pastor is reportedly cooling his
heels at the Ebonyi state police command after
reportedly luring a female member and molesting
her. According to The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), the pastor, identified as David Ibe,
committed the assault on Miss Nnenaya Okute, a
member of his congregation.
The Ebonyi police command’s image maker,
George Okafor, confirmed the arrest, noting that
the pastor is the clergy in charge of Christ
Command Mission, Onicha-Igboeze, Onicha LGA
of Ebonyi, and that the said offence was allegedly
committed on February 27. Okafor explained that
the said pastor lured the victim to an uncompleted
building at Umuobunna Uburu and defiled her,
adding “the suspect is an impostor who is among
those claiming to be pastor but dent God’s image
through their atrocities.
“He has been arrested and has confessed to
committing the crime, though he claimed that she
refused to marry him after investing heavily on
her. “It is terrible that he choose to rape the girl
for refusing to marry him, as he will be used to set
example to others who commit such crimes.” The
police spokesperson informed further that
investigations into the matter was still ongoing,
therefore warned the public to be mindful of “evil
men in cassocks.”
