Yesterday, Police in Edo arrested a pastor identified as Philips
Ogbebor, alleged to have had carnal knowledge of a 20-year-old male
member of his church (names withheld). It was revealed that the pastor
threatened to kill his victim if he told anybody about the encounter.
When
interviewed, Ogbebor simply said: “God will judge, go and talk to
others” and kept on mumbling. The victim narrated his own side of the
story;
“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 any one, 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 leaked the secret. He killed a
black fowl and gave me the liver and gizzard to eat at about 2 a.m.,
threatening that if I ever said it out, I will die like the fowl.
“But
when I realised 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.”
