A 53-year-old Pastor in Nsukka, Enugu state, Timothy Ngwu, alleged to be fond of tricking women into his church for sex in the name of God, has been exposed by his wife, Veronica, who said that he has even impregnated her teenage niece.
Timothy, of the Ministry of Holy Trinity, has subsequently been arrested by the Nigerian police after allegedly had sexual relations with several women in the name of God.
Veronica who exposed her husband after she confronted him about his deeds, managed to escape with one of her daughters.
She was said to have approached the Criminal Investigations Department unit, which handles child sex abuse cases, and lodged a criminal case against her husband.
Veronica, in her written complaint, alleged that when the Pastor converts married woman and single girls, he would fool them, claiming that God wanted them to have sexual relations with him.
“I could not stomach his ‘rascality’ anymore,” Veronica stated in her complaint.
Following his arrest, the accused Pastor confirmed that he had intercourse with married women but that he was guided by the Holy Spirit to do so even as he insisted that he used to do it after taking the consent of their husbands.
The police investigations also found that the accused Pastor had fooled several young gullible girls.
The investigators also found two young women in the church property who had left their husbands and were living with the Pastor. The women claimed that the Pastor had asked them to leave their husbands as the Holy Spirit wanted them to serve the anointed servant of God.
The Pastor has now been charged with child sex abuse. It is believed that at least 100 women, including girls as young as 11, might have been victimized by the accused. [myad]
