How Visiting Pastor Allegedly Raped Minor During Deliverance Prayer

A pastor from Delta State, Onyekachi Okoli, has allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl during a deliverance prayer in the Mowe community, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident on Friday.

Odutola said the command is searching for the pastor.

It was gathered that a pastor of the Adoration Fire Ministry in the community Emmanuel James, invited the survivor to a revival programme on September 14, 2024.

Okoli, a pastor from Delta State and a guest minister at the revival programme, allegedly approached the survivor on September 16, 2024, around midnight, claiming she needed deliverance that could only be performed at his hotel, where he was staying.

After luring the survivor to his hotel room, it was gathered that the suspect allegedly forced her (the survivor) onto the bed during the deliverance prayer session and raped her.

Odutola said, “The survivor reported the crime at the Mowe Division on September 19, 2024, stating that she had been invited to the church for a revival, where the guest minister informed her that she needed deliverance.

“The suspect invited her to the hotel where he was staying. During the deliverance session, he allegedly engaged in sexual intercourse with the victim, causing her to bleed.

“Our officers were sent to the church, where the pastor was brought in for questioning. He confirmed that the church had invited the suspect as a guest minister for the revival, but he was unaware that the suspect had committed any crime before returning to Delta State.”

Odutola mentioned that the church’s pastor had promised to present the suspect for interrogation, adding that the police investigation into the matter was still ongoing.
