A 48-year old preacher of
the gospel and pastor of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM),
a leading church in the world, identified simply as Onyekachukwu has been
apprehended for allegedly raping a 16-year old orphan (name withheld).
Naija News understands that Onyekachukwu was
apprehended by the operatives of the National Agency for the Prohibition
of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), after a complaint.
The teenage victim, a Junior Secondary School
Student of one of the government schools in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital had
dropped out of school and was in desperate need of an accommodation where she
could lay her head; a development that surfaced after the death of her parents
in 2018.
Reports made available to this news platform
suggest that the Pastor then offered to foot the responsibilities of the
teenage girl, accepted to accommodate her and sponsor her education because he
(the pastor) was a one-time neighbour to the girl and her family in Karmo
community in the suburb of Abuja.
The Pastor was then reported to have
repeatedly made accusations against her, among others, includes that the girl
is battling with the spirits of witchcraft and so she needs deliverance.
Naija News reporters were made to understand
that the Pastor succeeded in gaining the trust of his victim before proposing
his sexual advances to her.
In a report by The Eagle Online, that was
also reported by PM News, the Pastor
intensified his love advances towards the girl, but “unfortunately for him,” he was repeatedly
turned down.
The victim was reported to have told NAPTIP
operatives that the first time the Pastor raped her was in March this year
during her birthday, when the Pastor took her and his daughter out on a
birthday treat in some relaxation centres in Abuja.
According to her, the Pastor made his usual
advances which she declined but added that the Pastor patiently waited till the
late hours of the day when his daughter had gone to bed, she alleged that the
Pastor then pounced on her, forcefully had carnal knowledge of her, ignoring
the odds of his actions and ignoring her pleas.
Thereafter, the Pastor was
reported to have created for himself “forceful access,” as he no longer needs to
seek the consent of the girl before repeatedly laying her forcefully.
The repeated act by the Pastor apparently
resulted in pregnancy.
Upon interrogation, the
Pastor was reported to have confessed to have sexually abused the girl. The
Pastor said he abused her just twice and went ahead to attribute his act to
the “miraculous works of the
devil.”
