PORT HARCOURT — Chairman of All
Bishops in Rivers State, Bishop
Chibuike Nwabueze, who was
arrested for allegedly raping a 15-
year old girl, was paraded,
yesterday, by the state Police
Command.
The Bishop, who confessed to the
crime before newsmen, said he was
hypnotised, adding that he was set
up by the pastor of the church
where the incident occurred.
He denied raping the underage girl,
but admitted that she removed her
clothes after he finished praying for
her in the office and before he
could shout ‘the blood of Jesus,’ he
was already all over the girl.
The Bishop said he was set up by
his fellow Bishop, who was also
contesting for the post of Chairman
of All Bishops in the state with him.
Nwabueze, who was paraded at
the Rivers State Criminal
Investigation department, SCID,
Port Harcourt, said anybody could
have fallen a victim of what
happened to him.
He described as untrue, allegation
that he made the girl abort a
pregnancy from the incident.
According to him, it was the girl’s
father that did it but he took care
of of the bill.
He said: “We have different
Colleges of Bishops. I am the
Chairman of Communion of Bishops
in Rivers State. Well, what actually
happened was a set up. It was set-
up by my enemies. The man who is
in-charge of where I went to
minister is my enemy. He is the
person that set me up.
“He invited me to his church for a
programme and afer the
programme, he set me up because
of what we are dragging. We are
dragging the chairmanship of the
communion and that was why he
set me up. But to my greatest
surprise, on the said day and after I
had prayed for her, the girl started
pulling off her clothes and before
you knew it, I had carnal
knowledge of her.”
