A 29-year old Pastor in charge of Christ Command Mission in Onicha-Igboeze, Onicha local government area of Ebonyi state, David Ibe, has been alleged to have raped one Miss Nnenaya Okute, a member of his congregation in an uncompleted building.
According to the Ebonyi state police Public Relations Officer, George Okafor, who confirmed the incidence today in Abakaliki, the state capital, the pastor lured the victim to an uncompleted building at Umuobunna Uburu and raped her.
“The suspect is an impostor who is among those claiming to be pastor but dent God’s image through their atrocities.
“He has been arrested and has confessed to committing the crime, though he claimed that she refused to marry him after investing heavily on her.
“It is terrible that he choose to rape the girl for refusing to marry him, as he will be used to set example to others who commit such crimes.”
He said that investigations in the matter was still ongoing even as he warned the public to be mindful of “evil men in cassocks.’’ [myad]
