Edo Pastor identified as Pastor Ekene Samuel , General Overseer of Gloryland Church, has been arrested by Edo police command for allegedly charming, raping and impregnating a 17-year-old member.
According to reports,the teenager identified as Miracle had been taken for abortion by the pastor to one deacon, Happy Johnson who in turn took her to the Gracevill Medical Center along Ewah road in Benin city for the abortion.
The cat was let out of the bag after one Henry Aikhuaman reported that Miracle was missing and the search for her had begun.
The search by the police led to the discovery of Miracle on a sick bed at the hospital.
When interrogated, Pastor Ekene said
“Last year I had an extra marital affair with her in August. She came to me this year that she was pregnant. I asked my member here to take her to the hospital. She was taking some drugs to remove the pregnancy. The baby died in her womb. The doctors did surgery on her because she was having appendicitis. The hospital asked me to pay N380, 000 and I have paid N150, 000 before I was arrested. She did not die.
“These charms were items returned by people I prayed for through deliverance. Some are also for me. I also do spiritual work. I have anti-poison and others.”
The police say the Pastor and his accomplice would be charged to court soon.
