A pentecostal pastor with the Jesus Miracle
Ministries, Awka, Anambra State (names withheld) is on the run after he
allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy.
A
source who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that the gay pastor was
told by a native doctor that his homosexual ‘sickness’ would be cured if he
slept with a male teen.
Narrating
his ordeal, the victim (Abuchi) said the incident took place after a vigil
service.
The
teen victim, who hails from Ebonyi State said, “The pastor approached me after
the vigil and asked me to stay back.
“I
told the pastor that I wanted to go home since the church activities had ended.
“The
pastor told me to wait till dawn and when I insisted that I must go, the pastor
applied a substance on my eyes which made me to sleep.
“When
I woke up, I noticed that my trousers were torn, and my anus was damp.
“I
began to cry, as I was feeling pains in my anus. The pastor said I should stop
crying; that he would give me money.
“I
rejected the money offer and went home and told my people what happened.”
A
relative of the victim, Ngozi, who spoke with journalists, said they were not
aware that Abuchi went to church that night.
She
said when Abuchi came home and told them what happened, they rushed to the
church, only to discover that the pastor had absconded.
The
Anambra Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nkiru Nwode, confirmed the report,
She
said the police had begun a manhunt for the pastor, assuring that he would be
arrested and prosecuted.
The
police spokesperson said the victim has been taken to the hospital for
treatment.
