Nawa oh, some people are not worthy to be called pastors, using the word God said to deceive church congregations.
The General Overseer of Agape Baptist Church in Rivers State, Pastor Oprite Amakiri, has been arrested for raping his 18-year-old female member.
The 50-year-old pastor prophesied that God wanted one of his church members, between the age 12-18, to massage his aching waist and cure him of the pain he had been going through.
His members accepted the prophecy without questioning and a choir member donated her own sister, an 18-year-old to perform the healing process on the pastor.
But on the day Amakiri visited the home of the pastor,, he asked for more than a massage and raped the girl, an act that went on for three days. He reportedly threatened to harm her and the older sister if she told anyone the truth. But by the fourth day, the victim gathered courage and fled before alerting her sister who then called the police.
The pastor who is now in police custody, admitted to raping the teenager.
“I had carnal knowledge of the girl,” he told news men.
“I successfully raped her three times. I sincerely regret my actions. It is like the ground should open up and swallow me. Don’t blame the devil for what has happened, blame me because I was tempted and I did it.”
The State Police PRO, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, said that pastor Amakiri will be charged to court, the victim will first have to undergo medical checks, including HIV and STD test, to confirm she has not been infected by the rapist.
