Senior Pastor of the Chosen One
To Rule Ministry, Asaba, Delta State, Chinonso Udemezue, accused of raping a
10-year-old boy has blamed “Yahoo boys” for his travails.
Udemezue insisted that his
enemies were out to tarnish his image.
“It is fake news. ‘Yahoo-boys’ in
the neighbourhood are the ones trying to set me up,” he told Saturday Punch.
Asked if he was arraigned for
raping the boy, he confirmed that he was.
On why he thought the boy would
make such an allegation, Udemezue replied, “I don’t know what they could have
said to the boy to make him say such a thing.”
Gabriel’s aunty had narrated that
her mother went to the pastor for spiritual counselling because he was a pastor
they trusted.
“I lost my brother sometime ago
and we did not want to lose my nephew too, that is why my mother went to the
pastor for counselling and prayers.
“He said that we might lose him
to kidnappers if my mother did not bring him to live with him for some time.
“When we decided to put the boy
in our pastor’s custody, my mother asked how much would be needed to enrol him
in a school and pastor said N45,000 which my mother gave to him,” she said.
Few weeks after Gabriel had been
living with the pastor, some sympathisers brought him to his grandmother’s
house and told her something had happened to the boy.
Gabriel’s aunty continued, “We asked
him what was wrong and he told us how our pastor showed him a sex video on his
phone one night.
“After that, he said pastor
removed his clothes and brought out something like oil which he (pastor) robbed
on himself and inserted his penis into his anus. He said it was the only time
pastor did it.
“We screamed and raised the
alarm. We then decided to go and report the matter to the police. (‘B’ Police
Division, Asaba).
“After he was arrested, we went
to the school where my nephew was enrolled and found out that the school was
actually N25,000 not N45,000 the pastor told us.
“The school also said he had only
paid N9,000 out of the money.”
On Thursday, the pastor was
brought before the Okwe Magistrate’s Court, Asaba, on charges of child
defilement and rape.
He pleaded not guilty to the
charges.
Udemezue was released on a
N100,000 bail with one surety in like sum by Magistrate Alero Ezewani.
The case was adjourned till March
13, 2018.
