Pastor arrested for defiling, impregnating minor in Rivers

The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a pastor of the Gracious Covenant Church, identified simply as Pillar, for allegedly defiling and impregnating a 15-year-old girl in the Ndele community, in the Emohua Local Government Area of the state.

According to reports, Pillar’s arrest followed a complaint by an in-law of the victim, Amesi ThankGod, who claimed the minor and her mother were members of the pastor’s church.

He explained,” If her mother goes to the farm, the girl normally goes to the church to relax and returns in the evening. But in the last few days, the girl started vomiting. My wife, who is the victim’s elder sister, took her for a medical examination and the result showed she is pregnant.”
