Wake Up Nigeria, June 9, 2020
Bishop Elijah Orhonigbe, the Founder/General Overseer of Victory Revival Fasting & Prayer Ministry, has been arrested for allegedly raping a 19-year-old girl in Warri. The Bishop who is now cooling his heels in the police cell in ‘A’ Division Warri, was arrested on Friday, June 5, following a complaint by the mother of the victim at his office.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Muktar Garba confirmed the arrest to Newsmen. Garba noted that the mother of the victim is a member of the church where her daughter was allegedly raped by the said Bishop: “The woman brought the lady to the church pastor. I think what really happened is that the pastor drugged that lady and raped her. I personally took the lady to the hospital because she was in coma for two (2) days.
“We were looking for this pastor for 3weeks. Later on, used my detectives to trace where he hides and I got him arrested and I am charging him to court now. This is somebody that I arrested since Friday. He has been in cell Friday, Saturday, Sunday and today Monday, I am charging him to Court”, ACP Garba said.
In a swift reaction, the suspect, Bishop Elijah Orhonigbe denied the allegations leveled against him. The cleric who spoke with newsmen on his way out of the Police Station to Court said: “I did not rape her!”
