The victim was reportedly lured into the Church with a prophecy and he prayed for her. 

 

He later drove her to a hotel, where he probably continued the purported prayer by sex deliverance. The victim returned home and told her mother her nasty experience with Pastor Chukwumeze.

 

The 34-year old suspect, who is popularly known as Agụudọ from Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area, was paraded at the State Command, Awka, as confirmed by the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Haruna Mohammed, before newsmen.

 

The spokesman said that the Pastor was confirmed by witnesses to have been involved in previous cases of rape involving minors and was said to have lured the victim to his church with the prophesy that she had a bright future but was hindered by evil spirits.

 

SP Haruna Mohammed, who paraded the suspect, told journalists that the Police obtained a medical report showing that the victim (name withheld) had a penetration and the hymen lacerated.

 

Haruna said, “On 24th October ,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 the hospital, where 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.”

 

Narrating her ordeal, the victim explained that the Pastor lured and defiled her at a hotel along Eze Iweka Road, Obosi, after making a deliverance prayer for her.

 

The 15-year old girl added that on her way home after the deliverance prayer, the Pastor stopped his vehicle and told her to enter his car so he can drive her home.

 

According to the victim, as soon as she entered the vehicle, she lost her memory but eventually saw herself naked on a bed in a hotel.

 

The mother of the victim, Mrs. Edith Idika, added that after the incident took place on 23rd October 2019, she rushed to the nearest Police Station to make report.

 

The suspect, however, denied the allegations, saying he 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 back home” he said.

 

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.

 

Students Attack Teacher Viciously After Taking Hard Drugs

According to Punch Metro, some pupils of the Zappa Secondary School in Asaba, the Delta State capital, have launched an attack on a male teacher after allegedly taking hard drugs.

It was gathered that the pupils, who completed their first term examination on Friday, attacked the teacher while he was on his way home.

The teacher, according to an eyewitness, was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, for treatment as he suffered a broken forehead.

It was learnt that cops from the ‘A’ Division Police Station were immediately alerted and they arrested some pupils on the school premises.

Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, were not successful as several calls put across to her mobile phone were not answered.

An activist, Mr Victor Ojei, who rushed to the scene of the incident, said hard drugs had caused a lot of damage to some secondary pupils in the state.

He stated, “The teacher was attacked and rushed to the FMC for treatment. Hard drugs are now being consumed by secondary school pupils in Delta State.

“These kids now take all forms of hard drugs and get intoxicated and start fighting their teachers. They broke his forehead.”

'HEALTH ISSUES LEFT ME FEELING DRAINED BEFORE MY FIRST FIGHT WITH RUIZ'__ANTHONY JOSHUA.

Unified world
heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua said a health issue left him "tired" and "drained" in the build-up to his June defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr.

Joshua, 30, reclaimed his world titles in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, dominating the Mexican over 12 rounds.
Conspiracy theories had circulated after his initial defeat, one of the biggest shocks in heavyweight history.

"I had some issue with my health which I was going through for a long time," Joshua told the 5 Live Boxing podcast.
The Briton added: "I didn't know what was wrong with me. I felt so tired and drained and thought it must be down to training.
"In the changing room before the fight I got a bucket of ice and was putting my head in it thinking 'why do I feel so tired?'

"The responsibilities of being world champion are difficult. All that stuff, feeling so tired, dealing with obligations.
"Now I have energy, I haven't missed a session."

He added: "After my check-ups it showed what the problem was and this is what you have to get sorted.
"Even in this camp I had an operation done but as I'd started training in June I had no issues."

Joshua refused to say what the operation
was but it is understood the procedure he had was linked to the issue diagnosed after his defeat by Ruiz.

Joshua opens up at last
Joshua had hinted previously that he had something to reveal about what went on before his first career defeat and, after initial hesitation, provided at least some insight to the 5 Live Boxing podcast.
Joshua 'emotional' after regaining heavyweight world titles
'With the fear of humiliation came Joshua's best display'

Theories aired in the interim had ranged form him having shown the effects of being concussed in sparring to having a seizure before the bout at Madison Square Garden.
He now says he feels "back" and "focused".
The two-time world heavyweight champion also said he learned a valuable lesson not to accept opponents at short notice - Ruiz was drafted in six weeks before their fight after American Jarrell Miller failed three drug tests.

Joshua, who will return to the UK in the
early hours of Monday morning with the IBF, WBA and WBO belts, was on the front of Sunday's Saudi newspapers, alongside Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, who attended his fight.
Despite widespread criticism of staging the bout in a country criticised for its human rights record, Joshua said he would "100%" be happy to return to the kingdom on holiday or to perform.

'All challengers are welcome'
Joshua is now expected to face either the WBO's mandatory challenger - currently Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk - or the man in the same position with the IBF, Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev.

He said he was no longer interested in
calling out WBC champion Deontay Wilder for a historic bout with all four world heavyweight titles on the line.
Chasing a contest with compatriot Tyson Fury was also dismissed as Joshua said he hoped to focus on one "hurdle" at a time.
"Looking so far ahead it can be a blurry vision looking that far out," Joshua told BBC Sport.

"Sooner or later I will be looking directly at the undisputed championship of the world.
"If the opportunity presents itself I will fight Wilder and Fury. Wilder has a fight with Fury in February. Once that is out of the way they can start mentioning my name.

"I can't keep on fighting all the champions, the best in the division and then other people who say they want to step up don't step up.

"All challengers are welcome to take on this current unified champion."
Joshua said to defend his belts "on home soil would be big news" after promoter Eddie Hearn revealed he had been in discussions over a fight at Tottenham's new 60,000-capacity stadium, most likely against Pulev.

"It would be mega," Joshua added. "Looking at how many people came out here shows there is still a big interest in the heavyweight division, especially now we are taking the belts back.
"Sometimes it would be better against a Brit, but if not I follow the mandatories and defend them that way."
