Public Relations Officer, SP Haruna Mohammed confirmed the arrest and also told
newsmen that they've obtained a medical report showing that the victim's hymen was lacerated after a penetration.
Haruna said, “On 24th
September 2019, we got a report from a woman in Obosi police station that the
pastor of Mountain Zion Ministry, Obosi had an unlawful canal knowledge of her
daughter.
“Police officers went to the scene, inspected it and victim
was rushed to hospital and medical report revealed that her vagina was
penetrated and laceration of the hymen of the victim occurred.
“Police went to the hotel and the evidence seen at the hotel
corresponded with what the victim told the police.”
The 15-year-old Secondary School Student who recounted how
the incident occurred, said she lost consciousness after entering the Pastor's
car and regained it at the hotel where she was stripped naked.
“I didn’t know what
happened immediately I entered his car, but I regained consciousness in a room,
and I was naked, and the pastor was on top of me, and there was blood in my
private part.”
Mrs Edith Idika who
confirmed that her daughter was raped, said the Pastor told her that her
daughter needed a deliverance.
“I sent my daughter
there, especially as the pastor had said that my daughter had bright future,
but had something covering her. He even said he was ready to train her for
us" she said.
The Pastor however
denied having carnal knowledge of the minor. According to Evangelist Chukwudi,
he is being set up by another Pastor based in same Obosi. He recounted speeding
past the girl's house while dropping her off as she was the last person in
church on the day of the incident.
“When I asked her,
she said I had passed her house, so I stopped at Nkwo ATM point since I had to
withdraw money to pay transportation for our members who were going to the
mountain" he said.
