53-year-old pastor from Nigeria who impregnated more than 20 members of
his congregation, including several married women and young girls,
claiming that the Holy Spirit told him to have sex with them has been
arrested for sexual abuse.
Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, a spokesman for the Enugu State Police Command told NaiJ that general overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity, Pastor Timothy Ngwu, was arrested for abusing his female members.
Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, a spokesman for the Enugu State Police Command told NaiJ that general overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity, Pastor Timothy Ngwu, was arrested for abusing his female members.
“The pastor claims to be obeying prophetic/spiritual injunction to do
the will of God, which is to impregnate any one chosen and revealed by
the Holy Spirit, irrespective of whether the woman is married or not,”
said Amaraizu.
“When the woman is delivered of the baby, the child remains in the ministry with the mother for life,” he added.
According to a Vanguard report, Ngwu was reported to the police by his
estranged wife, Veronica Ngwu, who got tired of his lascivious behavior
after he impregnated her young niece.
A
brother of the pastor, who did not want to be identified, told Vanguard
that he had been warning Ngwu and his family about his behavior for a
long time but he refused to listen. The arrest, he said, was God’s wrath
falling on his brother.
“Let me tell you, God’s anger has befallen my brother, we have severally
appealed to him to stop what he was doing but he refused. He has
colonized our compound, bearing children with recklessness. He accused
us of being jealous of him because he is doing the will of God,” the
brother told Vanguard.
“Look at these buildings here,” he said pointing to the church compound.
“He (pastor) has converted all of them to himself in the name of
vineyard. I can’t say exactly what informed his spirit to the devilish
act in the name of God. He sacked his betrothed wife who has three
children for him and embarked on impregnating married women and young
girls. Look at the whole compound littered with children of different
sex and age,” he lamented.
“How can an educated man of his status reason like an unrefined man? All
members of the vineyard are fools, how can a woman abandon her husband
for another man in the name of worshiping God and practice adultery? I
cannot get myself involved in this matter; Vero has opened the vessel of
worms in the vineyard. Let them sort themselves out with the police but
I want the ministry to be shut down completely,” he added.
Ngwu told NaiJ that he has approximately five wives with 13 children
along with concubines he acquired by the prophetic will of God.
