Pastor defiles 10 year-old, ailing sister during ‘deliverance’ in Imo

A Pentecostal pastor in Imo State, Pastor Kenneth Onyeali, has been detained by the State Police Command for allegedly defiling a 10-year-old girl and her 16-year-old sick elder sister while supposedly conducting ‘deliverance’ for the sick girl.

The sick girl, Loveth Emeoha, 16, who hails from the nearby Umudagwa village, Apani community in Ikwerre local government area of Rivers State, The Nation gathered, was said to have developed a health complication on her legs that suddenly crippled her, forcing her to drop out of school.

It was further learned that when she was taken to the church by her mother, Pastor Kenneth, who is the general overseer of Christ New Covenant Church located in Umuagwo in Ohaji Egbema local government area of Imo State, was said to have told the mother of the victims, Mrs. Ijeoma Emeoha, to leave her sick daughter behind for some days to deliver her from her ill health.

It was equally learned that after some days, the pastor also demanded that Loveth’s 10 year-old younger sister be brought to the church to look after her.

According to the victims’ mother: “The pastor I entrusted my sick daughter into his care and he was repeatedly defiling my sick child for days and when he got tired of her, he demanded that the younger one be brought to him and he continued from where he stopped.

“When my daughter complained after some days of constant sexual intercourse, Pastor Kenneth told her that that was the only way she could be healed of her sickness”.
