MANY found it hard to believe.
They made calls to confirm if
those close to the bishop had
heard the story.
But the ‘man of God’ himself told
the story before journalists at the
State Criminal Investigation
Department, SCID, Port Harcourt,
Rivers State.
Bishop Chibuike Nwabueze
Bishop Chibuike Nwabueze
Bishop Chibuike Nwabueze
narrated the story of how he
allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl
after ministering at Calvary Army
Ministry, Rumuoji Eneka in Obio
Akpor local government area of
Rivers state.
He blamed it on the devil and also
accused his host as the one who
set him up. According to the
cleric, after he finished
ministering, he retired to rest.
The girl later came for
deliverance.
He said that while he was
pleading the blood of Jesus on
the little girl, she started
removing her dress. Before he
could restrain her, he said he
found himself on top of her.
“But to my greatest surprise, I
was surprised when I saw her
pulling off her blouse and skirt.
But, before I knew it, I had a
carnal knowledge of her. That is
the truth of the matter.”
His head suddenly dropped after
the confession, then went up
again; this time he said anybody
could have fallen for it.
According to him, when he
realised he had sinned against
God, he called some junior
pastors to tell them what he had
done to pray for him.
Nwabueze said he took a second
look at the little girl who
probably was still lying nude and
waiting for a second round and
what he saw pissed him off.
“She started laughing at me. She
said ‘are you angry?’ I told her
that I did not know she had
hypnotised me. She said I should
not bother,” the bishop said.
“I was so angry and annoyed
that I called some of my pastors
and made a confession, that I did
not know what was happening.”
Nwabueze said it was not true
that he raped the girl, stressing
that it was a consensual act. He
also dismissed the allegation
that he later procured abortion
for the girl when the father called
to inform him that she was
pregnant. According to him, it
was the girl’s father that did it
but he paid the bills.
The bishop maintained that the
pastor of the church where he
went to preach set him up and
he fell for it.
“We have different Colleges of
Bishops. I am the Chairman of
the Communion of Bishops in
Rivers State. Well, what actually
happened was a set up. It was
set-up by my enemies. I have so
many people who are my
enemies. The man in-charge of
where I went to minister is my
enemy. He is the person that set
me up,” he stated.
“He invited me to his church for a
programme, claiming to be my
friend. After the programme, he
set me up because of the tussle
over the chairmanship of the
communion.”
Meanwhile, the police have
advised Christians to be vigilant
and ask the right questions
sometimes on the actions of
some pastors. This way the
police said, Christians could
different between true and fake
pastors.
Deputy Commissioner of Police in
charge of Rivers SCID, Mr Samuel
Okaula, who paraded the bishop
and a male nurse who allegedly
facilitated the abortion, also said
people should be conscious of
worship centres. He said
Nwabueze would be arraigned
before the court to serve as a
deterrent.
Reacting to the development,
Executive Director, Institute of
Human rights and Humanitarian
Law, IHRHL, Mr Ayankwee
Nsirimovu, described the action
of the bishop as unfortunate as
it was done by one in a position
of spiritual trust. He said the
incident was one case out of the
experiences of under aged girls,
married and single women in the
offices of randy bishops and
clergy men.
