The cleric, who was simply identified as Pastor Sam, had been holding deliverance sessions with the 45-year-old woman and her 14-year-old daughter as they were said to be under evil spells.
The woman and her daughter were allegedly blamed for the death of the family’s breadwinner and this was what led them to Pastor Sam’s church in the Nnebisi Road environs of Asaba, the state capital.
Leadership reports:
LEADERSHIP gathered that the pastor, who hails from the eastern part of the state, allegedly impregnated the 45-year-old mother of three and her 14-year-old daughter under the guise of conducting prayers for them to deliver them of evil spirits that had been battling them.
It was gathered that the woman and the daughter have been under evil spells after her husband died of inexplicable stomach problems and elders of the Illah community where
they live, had consulted seers who accused the woman and her teenage daughter of having a hand in the death.
The duo were said to have been introduced to the pastor around December 2013 and he had promised to reverse every demonic attack on their lives and they have been consulting the pastor until last week when they both took ill and were taken to a private hospital in Asaba by their neighbours, where doctors, after conducting tests confirmed they were both pregnant after which they claimed the pastor was responsible.
Sources said when the news of the pregnancy broke, the pastor who smelt trouble, took off to an unknown destination leaving his church which used to be a beehive of prayer activities, under lock and key.
Confirming the incident, an elder sister of the pregnant woman, one Elizabeth Agu said, “we tried to reach the pastor who they claimed is responsible, through his GSM line but it was switched off and his whereabouts are unknown while the church is also under lock and key,” she added.
