lekanolas: •Youths burn church’s property

The General Overseer of the Jesus Army of Salvation Ministry at Ama-Alim Ngugo community in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, Prophet Chukwunonso Okudiover, has been arrested for allegedly practicing sodomy with a 14-year old boy.

The suspect, an indigene of Anambra State, narrowly escaped being lynched by some aggrieved youths before the timely intervention of the police. It was learnt that before the arrival of the police, the youths had beaten the suspect to a pulp after the victim, Chimaobi Ejiekwu, a Junior Secondary School pupil, reported the act to his parents.

Chimaobi’s brother, Francis Ejiekwu, who spoke yesterday on behalf of the family, told journalists on the day the incident happened, the prophet, who also runs a patent medicine store in the village, invited his younger brother to his shop for medical checkup where he allegedly hypnotized him and had carnal knowledge of him.

Francis said: “My brother (victim) went to the barber’s shop to have his cut after he returned from school and the prophet invited him to his shop. When the boy got to the shop, the prophet brought out a liquid substance to rub it on my brother’s chest until the boy became unconscious.

“When my brother came back in the evening, he told us of what happened as he complained of severe pains in his anus.

When we accosted the suspect in his church, he confirmed that he practiced sodomy with my brother.”
