A man of God, who was
identified as ‘Dukes’, is alleged to have impregnated seven single sisters and
two married women in his church- ‘the Light of God Ministries’ in Umunede,
Delta state.
Dukes was arrested
and detained at Agbor Police Station by the parents of his victims for two days
before he was granted bail, Punch Newspapersreports.
One of his church
members- Josephine Ogor was quoted to have said: “The self acclaimed reverend
uses preaching, choirs and organised youth fellowship to get young girls.”
“That was what he did
in Ute-Okpu, Otolokpo neighbouring communities before he moved into Umunede and
he was driven away by the elders of the communities, he likes girls of 15, 16
and 17 years he sleeps with.”
The report further
states that married women took their marital problems to him were induced into
sleeping with him, allegedly through magical powers.
Some of them were
quoted to have said: “The man is fake, he uses magical powers to woo young
girls he sleeps with, that was how we fell into his net, and our eyes were
opened.”
The Reverend however,
said the allegations are part of an attempt to blackmail him, while also
denying being responsible for the pregnant church members.
He said: “I am not
responsible for their pregnancies, they are lairs”.
Meanwhile, Police
officers at Agbor Police Division are reported to be investigating the matter.
“We are currently
investigating the Reverend after some parents of the girls he allegedly seduced
reported the matter at the station, we have earlier arrested and released him
on bail while investigation is ongoing.”
