Pastor Stripped Naked, Beaten Blue and Black for allegedly Defiling his Three Daughters in Etche
TRACKING____The pastor of a new generation church located in Igbo-Etche axis of Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, has been stripped naked by members of the Onelga Security, Peace and Advisory Council (OSPAC) operating in the area for allegedly defiling his three daughters.
The pastor, (name withheld) who confessed to the crime in a viral video seen on social media was also beaten in the presence of his wife and son for the act.
City News gathered that his son reported his father to the security outfit after he learnt that his mother has been covering up for the dad.
The father reportedly laid curse on him for exposing him.
The local guards were said to have mobilised to the pastor’s residence, took him outside and stripped him naked.
In the video, a member of the group asked why the suspect defiled his daughters, he said he was bewitched by his mother.
The pastor said, “It is because of a witchcraft force. My mother told me not to marry this woman (pointing to the wife), but I continued to marry her. So, my mother did that to punish me and bring shame on me.”
Asked the name of his church and how many members he had, the pastor said, “My church is in Chuwuta in Ibgbo-Etche. I have many members but I have not had sex with any of the women in my church.”
Angered by his explanation, a man suspected to be the leader of the vigilantes, slapped the cleric, while two other members flogged him with canes.
A member of the group turned to the suspect’s wife, who said she was 56 years old, demanding what she did after discovering the crime.
“I cannot do anything because I love my husband and I cover him. But I told him not to do it again. I cover him. But I told him not to do it again. I cover him because of love,” she replied.
When asked to speak, the pastor’s son, who reported the matter to the vigilantes, said his father laid curse on him for exposing the secret.
The leader of the vigilantes compelled the suspect to reverse the curse.
It was gathered that he was later taken to a nearby police station.
Spokesman for the state police command, Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the incident, but expressed anger at the way the vigilantes treated the matter.
He said, “All those involved in the matter, including the vigilantes, will be arrested for taking the law into their hands. They compounded the situation by not reporting to the police. The Divisional Police Officer in charge of that area has been mandated to bring all those behind it to justice”.
