12 YEAR OLD GIRL RAPED BY PASTOR?

12 YEAR OLD GIRL RAPED BY PASTOR?

Ijeoma Mbiaka narrated how she fell victim to her pastor’s devised plan. 

The girl claimed the pastor of her church, Rhema Ministries  in Oyeagu Abagana in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, Rev Sampson Otisi allegedly lured her to a hotel, under the pretence of conducting deliverance for her but ended up raping her all through the night.

Ijeoma, who is said to have hearing problems hearing claimed she went to the church to seek prayers from the pastor so that she could hear loudly again.

A copy of medical report issued to her by the Chief Medical Officer of Enugu Ukwu General Hospital, Dr J.O Akuka which her parents showed to our reporter revealed that she sustained bruises, and a torn hymen. This showed that there was a penetration in her vagina

However, she said she was lured to the hotel and raped from 9 pm to the next morning and dumped in the hotel room, where she cried until hotel attendants rescued her.

Ijeoma who spoke at the Magistrate Court Abagana said she prayed all night reminding the pastor of the consequence of his act, but his pleas fell on deaf ears.

She continued that, “After the session that day, he called me to the backyard and started praying for me. He poured anointing oil into my ear and mouth. He now ordered me to remove my dress and he poured some on my tummy and started massaging it. After sometime, he started putting his hand inside (Vagina), to which I objected. He said he will leave me if I do not want him to pray for me”.

“Even when blood was gushing out of me, he continued to push the ‘thing’ inside. I tried shouting but he covered my mouth, when I could not help myself, I started praying and telling him of the implication of what he was doing to me before God but he kept on”.

She said she was only freed the next morning when she regained consciousness and started banging the door of the hotel room asking for assistance. Ijeoma’s father pleaded with the relevant authorities to help her find justice for her innocent daughter who was violated by a man she trusted to be a Man of God, as the matter is currently before a Magistrate court in Abagana.

The pastor, Rev Otisi, who is the senior pastor of a branch of Rhema Church in Abagana refused to make comments when he was approached. His counsel, Barr CC Achi, however, said that the matter was only being engineered by unseen hands from behind as his client occupied a land that is in dispute.
