A Pentecostal pastor in Onitsha, Anambra State was on
Tuesday detained at the Central Police Station (CPS), Onitsha for
allegedly raping an 11-year-old girl while supposedly delivering her
from witchcraft.
The pastor, whose church is situated at Tasia Road, Inland Town,
Onitsha, was said to have told Chioma Onyeji, mother of the rape victim,
who was in the church for a spiritual programme to leave the girl
behind for some days in order to expel the evil spirit in her.
He further said the young girl possessed demonic spirit and
witchcraft and consequently insisted that the girl should stay back with
him.
Mrs Onyeji, who leaves in Asaba, Delta State, saw her daughter
bleeding from her private part when she returned a few days later to
pick her girl from the church and informed the police who immediately
arrested the pastor.
Upon investigation, the girl told her mother that the pastor raped her
three times after spreading white cloth on the floor.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) at the CPS, Onitsha, Abdul Yusuf,
told journalists on Tuesday that he was not on seat, but a police
officer, who did not want his name mentioned, confirmed the incident,
adding that the pastor would soon be charged to court.
