Voodoo Pastor arrested for for impregnating teenager.
A
Benin-based pastor, Ekene Samuel, who allegedly specialised in charming his
victims with voodoo, has been apprehended by Edo police operatives.
He
was arrested for allegedly impregnating a 17-year-old girl, Miracle Nwabueze,
after using voodoo on her.
The
38-year-old pastor who was paraded with one of his church members said to be
his collaborator, Mrs. Happy Johnson, was also accused of procuring an illegal
abortion on the victim
They
were among the scores of suspects paraded by the Edo State Police Commissioner,
Dan-Mallam Muhammed, for their alleged involvement in various crime in the
state.
According
to the CP, the Command received a complaint from one Henry Aikhuamen that one
Miracle Nwabueze, 17, was missing. Operatives of Special Anti Robbery Squad, through
a Hi-Tech intelligence located Nwabueze on a sick bed at Graceville Medical
Centre, Ewa Road, Benin.
“On
inquiry, the doctor informed the police that one Deaconess Happy Johnson
brought her for treatment. She was arrested and confessed that one Pastor Ekene
Samuel asked her to assist him to bring Nwabueze to the Hospital for abortion.
“The
victim confessed that she was impregnated by Pastor Ekene Samuel, who charmed
and had sex with her five times in December 2018. Pastor Ekene Samuel was
arrested and charms were recovered from him in his house,” he said.
Speaking
with journalists, the Pastor, who confessed having extra-marital affair with
the victim, denied using voodoo on the victim or any other members of his
church.
He
said he quit the relationship in August last year due to her behaviour.
He
also said only three of the items recovered at his church, a Bible tied round
with a key in it, black soap and another black substance were his own.
He
said: “But January this year, she said she was pregnant and I sent one of my
members to take her to the hospital when she complained of pains, not knowing
that she was already taking drugs to terminate the pregnancy.
“When
they got to the hospital, they discovered that she had ruptured appendicitis.
The doctor referred us to another hospital where the operation was done
successfully and they charged N380,000 and I am still paying the bill now.”
He
explained further that a few days after the operation, his wife went to give
her some items and she was arrested by the police because someone had
complained about the matter.
“When
she was arrested, I went to the station and I was arrested because she knows
nothing about it. After my arrest, the police went to my church and packed
items were given to me by those I prayed for as the charm I am using in church.
“I
don’t go to native doctors, these items were returned by the people I prayed
for and they got deliverance through my prayers. Nobody is above mistake and
temptation can come at any time.”
On
her part, Johnson said she was not aware that the lady was pregnant and that
she was carrying out abortion.
She
said she was preparing for church when the pastor called her to take the girl
to the hospital that she was not well.
“When
we get to the hospital, they said they carried out ultrasound when I asked her
what was the problem, she said it is appendicitis. They then referred us to
another hospital for the operation.
“I
signed for her when they want to do the operation but I did not know it was
about abortion. I was arrested with the pastor’s wife when she came to give
clothes to the lady at the hospital. I was arrested for signing the paper and
carrying her to the hospital. I only got to know at the police station that it
was an abortion,” she said.
