One Pastor Philip Ogbebor was paraded by Edo state Police Command for allegedly having canal knowledge of a 20-years-old male member of his church and threatening him with death if he ever reveals the act to anyone.
The State Police Commissioner, Folusho Adebanjo, said the arrest of the pastor and other suspected criminals that were paraded yesterday 3rd July, signalled the commitment of the police to ridding the state of criminals.
The downcast pastor Ogbebor declined to speak on the allegation against him, saying "God will judge, go and talk to others."
However, the victim narrated his ordeal saying, "I told him i have never done this since i grew up, but he insisted. It was painful and i told him i will not allow it again. So after the second attempt, i told him i will expose the act. He then administered an oath on me, saying if i ever told anyone, i will die.
He carried sand and olive oil and poured them on my head, then he wore black garment, saying i will die if i ever leak the secret. He killed a black fowl and gave me the liver an gizzard to eat at about 2.am, threatening that if i ever said it out, i will die like the fowl.
But when i realized that it is a sin, i met a man of God to pray for me that God should forgive me and that i am ready to expose it since he forced me. There after i went to the church and told the congregation about the act. When he heard it, he threatened me by sending his younger brother and members of his gang after me. Since then, i have been running.
The state police command added, "This man who claimed to be a pastor defiled a young person. Another thing that is so common her and i don't know why this defilement issue is so prevalent.
I wonder if there is something about it. You see very old men defiling young girls who are five years, two years and so on. We are not going to tolerate this and cases of rape are also increasing too but wewill go all out to make sure that they are convicted."
End of d world oh!
