A woman took police officers directly to her pastor’s church last weekend, leading to his immediate arrest over allegations that he sexually assaulted and impregnated her 17-year-old daughter.
According to the mother, the pastor first had sexual intercourse with the girl, taking her virginity, and later got her pregnant.
The daughter told investigators that the pastor would regularly call her and several other girls to the church premises.
She described how, on the first occasion, he performed certain acts on her, after which she said she “blacked out” and only later understood what had happened.
Following the incident, the pastor allegedly warned her and at least six other girls against telling anyone, threatening them if they spoke out.
When police questioned the other girls mentioned, they reportedly gave matching accounts, confirming they had experienced similar situations with the pastor.
Officers arrested him on the spot, and he remains in custody while the investigation continues.
The church in question operates as a prophetic ministry known for conducting various spiritual activities and deliverance sessions.
The girl’s mother has remained firm in her demands—she insists that the pastor must sign a formal legal undertaking to take full responsibility for any future physical, emotional, or other consequences that may arise for her daughter.
She stated that she remains uncertain about what lasting effects his actions may have caused.
The case has drawn widespread attention online, with people sharing strong views on the matter:
