Mount Zion Pastor Rapes 15-Year-Old Girl After ‘Delivering Her From Evil Spirit’ In Anambra

Anambra State Police Command has arrested and paraded the General Overseer of Mount Zion Ministries, in Obosi, Pastor Chukwudi Chukwumezie, also known as Agudo Jesus for raping a 15-year-old senior secondary one (SS1) student.

The pastor was alleged to have lured the minor to his church, with the prophecy that she had a bright future that was hindered by evil spirits.

When she visited him for deliverance, the pastor lured the girl into his car, drugged her, drove her to a guest house (hotel), where he raped her repeatedly.

The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Haruna Mohammed, who paraded the suspect on Wednesday evening, told journalists that the police obtained a medical report, showing that the victim (name withheld) had a penetration, and the hymen lacerated.

“On 24th September 2019, we got a report from a woman in Obosi police station that the pastor of Mountain Zion Ministry, Obosi had an unlawful canal knowledge of her daughter.
“Police officers went to the scene, inspected it and victim was rushed to hospital and medical report revealed that her vagina was penetrated and laceration of the hymen of the victim occurred.
“Police went to the hotel and the evidence seen at the hotel corresponded with what the victim told the police.”

The 15-year-old victim said she had been lured by the pastor into his car, after conducting a deliverance session on her.

“I didn’t know what happened immediately I entered his car, but I regained consciousness in a room, and I was naked, and the pastor was on top of me, and there was blood in my private part.”

Mother of the victim, Mrs Edith Idika, also confirmed that her daughter was raped. She said she had visited the pastor with her daughter, when he told her she needed to under go deliverance.

“I sent my daughter there, especially as the pastor had said that my daughter had bright future, but had something covering her. He even said he was ready to train her for us.”

The suspect, however, denied the allegations, saying she only prayed for the girl, and since she was the last person to leave the church, he decided to drop her at her house, but sped past her house.

“When I asked her, she said I had passed her house, so I stopped at Nkwo ATM point since I had to withdraw money to pay transportation for our members who were going to the mountain.”

He denied having canal knowledge of the minor, insisting that the girl was being used to set him up by another pastor, who was operating at Obosi.
