Alleged sexual abuse: Police arraign Abuja Pastor

A pastor of a new generation church in
Nyanya, Abuja, was yesterday arraigned by the police before an Abuja
Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Karu for allegedly molesting young
female members of his church.
Pastor Basil Princewill, the general overseer of Mountain Movers Fire
Ministries International, Nyanya, Abuja, was arraigned with Ms Paulyn
Ode, the church’s coordinator on charges of alleged conspiracy, criminal
impersonation, criminal intimidation, and criminal force and assault.
The pastor was accused of having carnal
knowledge of two 14-year-old female members of the church under
pretences of offering prayers for them in July, 2011 and later aborted
the pregnancy of one the girls this year at the Fountain Health Clinic,
Nyanya, Abuja after telling doctors he is her father.
According to the charge, which was
transferred from the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking
in Persons (NAPTIP) where parents of the victims lodged initial
complaints, the pastor also impersonated as a lawyer with an LL.B
certificate.
When the charges were read to the
accused persons, they denied the allegations and their counsel, Uchenna
Anayo, applied for their bail which was opposed by Police counsel
Oyewusi Abiola.
Magistrate Ahmed Shuaibu ruled in favour
of the defence and granted bail to the accused persons in the sum of N2
million with two sureties in like sums.
The sureties, he also said, must be
civil servants of not below grade level 14 and must have a property in
Abuja valued at not less than N5 million.
The magistrate adjourned the case to July 25 for hearing.
