In the statement NAPTIP Press and Public Relations Manager, Stella Nezan, said the first time Onyekachuku raped his victim was during her birthday, adding that under interrogation the clergyman admitted to the crime but said he slept with her just twice, blaming evil for his action.
“During interrogation, the pastor with the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, confessed to have sexually abused the girl twice and attributed the evil act to the work of the devil,” it read.
