Pastor arraigned in Benin for defiling male church member

Ogbebor, who was arrested after a boy, who he made to swear an oath of secrecy, told his parents what the pastor was doing to him.

The Commissioner of  Police, Mr.  Foluso  Ayodeji Adebanjo, who confirmed the incident, said that the Pastor was arrested  by men of the State Criminal Investigation Department of the Edo State Police Command following a complaint lodged by the father of one of his victims.

The young man, who did not want his name mentioned, said that Pastor Ogbebor started harassing him since 2007 when he was only fifteen years old and that he made him take oath of secrecy and promised to kill him if he told anyone.

According to him, “Each time, I told him it is painful  and  that I don’t want to  do it again. I told him I will tell my parents but he forced me to take oath saying if I ever tell anyone  I will not live  to see the next day.”

He furthered revealed how Ogbebor mixed olive oil  with  sand and robbed it on his head while chanting incantations in an unusual language and casting  spells on him, with an emphasis on the fact that if he tells anybody he would die like a fowl.

He said to buttress his threat  he gave him the liver and gizzard of chicken to eat saying these acts were usually performed at midnight under the guise of a night vigil.

The victim was said to have reported  Pastor Ogbebor before the congregation  with Ogbebor also denying the claims in the congregation’s presence.

After the confession by the victim to the congregation, his father, who is also a member of the church, promptly confronted Pastor Ogbebor on the matter. As the issue degenerated into a rowdy affair in the church, the pastor reportedly confessed to the crime and pledged to take the victim, who has been battling with spiritual and health challenges  to the hospital for medical treatment.

The Commissioner of  Police said the suspect has been arraigned before a Magistrate Court in  Benin  on a charge of indecent assault under the Sections 214(1) and 352 of the constitution and will soon be charged to court after the completion of investigation.

The Magistrate was said to have ordered Ogbebor’s detention at the Oko Medium Security Prison in the state capital pending the commencement of trial.
