A 65-year-old pastor, Francis Ogwu, has been handed over to policemen in Anambra State for defiling his seven-year-old domestic help in Awka, the state capital.

Ogwu was arrested on Thursday by police operatives, following an alarm raised by concerned residents of the community, which drew the attention of the state Ministry of Women and Social Welfare.

The suspect, who hails from Imo State, is said to be the pastor and General Overseer of Jesus House of Joy Church, Awka, but has lived with his wife and children in Anambra for over 30 years.

Ọgwụ, during interrogations, confessed to the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, that he “just fingered the girl once” but denied other allegations of penetration as against what the seven-year-old victim said.


On why he defiled the child, the suspect explained, “I was tempted because my wife usually gives excuses that she’s fasting whenever I want to have quality time with her.”

Meanwhile, the seven-year-old victim who narrated her side of the story, told the commissioner that her guardian (the suspect) had carnal knowledge of her three times of which he usually gives her money ranging from N500 to N1,000 after each experience.


She also said that at some point, she was accused by the pastor’s wife of snatching the husband from her, revealing that what prompted her to leave was the beating she got by the suspect’s daughter.


The victim’s mother, a native of Awka, stated that she handed the daughter over to the Ogwu family because of the relationship they have had over time, but was shocked when her daughter returned to her and told her of the development.

She revealed that she quickly called the suspect, who, upon arrival, denied the allegations, which prompted her to involve other persons by raising the alarm.

Reacting to the incident, the Women and Social Welfare Commissioner, Obinabo, vowed to see that the seven-year-old gets the deserved justice and advised women to always be vigilant and stop sex starving their husbands as that could lead to bad behaviours of some men.

Obinabo, who charged women to always protect their girl child at all costs, noted that defilement is no longer excusable in the state.

Later, family members of the suspect visited the office of the commissioner, pleading for pardon, but were asked to head to the police as the case would be charged to court.

The suspect, Francis Ogwu

On why he defiled the child, the suspect explained, “I was tempted because my wife usually gives excuses that she’s fasting whenever I want to have quality time with her.”

He blamed his wife and the devil for tempting him. In spite of this, his wife and children who are now begging for his release, allegedly maltreated the minor while their father was allegedly molesting his victim.

If this alleged crime is prosecuted in Lagos, he will be served life imprisonment.

I appeal to the state government to offer the right treatment and rehabilitation to the victim.

Fake news from lagos-ibadan express media

I don't know if the news is true, but the two sets of people I fear most are NIGERIAN PASTORS AND NIGERIAN POLITICIANS

65 year old pastor Francis Ogwu raped a 7 year old in Anambra. Pastor Francis Ogwu hails from Imo state. They will soon drag Tinubu into it.

On the last day everyone will be judged according to what he or she has done. Forget the titles and positions that people carry.
You that is not even a pastor will also be judged by God. So kindly amend your ways and live the kind of life that will please God. Simply surrender and submit your life to Him and He will give you the ability to live right.

They rape their members. They kill their members. They dupe their members. They enslave their members. They extort their members. In the end, they worship their pastors and defend them. I'm sad to say this, but Christianity is a failed religion.

Repent for the Kingdom of God and His Christ is at hand.

Not Christian, But CHRISTAINDOM generally

Christian and Muslims bigots will still support their religious father's after being brainwashed. Religion is a scam.

Pastor my ass.
Let him go and cool of in the prison.
The mother of that child should also be punished for child labour and abuse.
why on earth should parent allow a 7 year old to be used as house help? That's wickedness and abuse of the child's fundamental right.
Parents are obliged to raise their children by themselves, therefore should not shift that responsibility to another man unless they are incapable.
