A Port Harcourt-based bishop (names withheld) was, on Tuesday, paraded before the media by the Rivers State police command for allegedly raping a 15-year old girl.
Although he claimed to have both been hypnotised as well as set up by a colleague bishop, the cleric confessed to having a “carnal knowledge” of the teenager in question.
He said his ordeal was orchestrated by another bishop in whose office the immoral act took place, adding that plot to ensnare and embarrass him followed on the desire of his brother bishop to displace him as the chairman of all bishops in the state, a post he (the accused bishop) currently occupied.
The accused also denied reports that he assisted in aborting the pregnancy that resulted from the illicit act with the teenager, alleging that it was the girl’s father who did the abortion, while he, the bishop, paid for the cost.
“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. I have so many people who are 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, after the programme, he set me up because of what we are dragging. We are dragging chairmanship of the communion and that was why he set me up.
“I was surprised when I saw her pulling off her skirt and others. But, before you knew it, I had a carnal knowledge of her. That is the truth of the matter.
“She started laughing at me. She said ‘are you angry?’ I told her that I did not know what she had hypnotized me for. She said I should not bother. 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,” he said.

Was he also hypnotised when he did the abortion? Lying fuul!

That's Naija for you. Always blaming the devil for everything they do.

Dm go always blame d devil yet sm ppl go dey say devil no get power!. Devil wey strong die, devil wey dey get inside info when God wan see Him sons nd daughters u go see d devil for their midst.

If a whole bishop fit fall into temptation na me come holy pass?. I go dive into it bt nt with an underage.

Hmmmm...

It is true that temptation has many faces and sometimes it comes from the most unlikely of sources but one thing is sure: WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR EVERY ACTION...

It is sad that after the MoG fell, he could not at the minimum accept responsibility for his actions...this brings to mind the 'fall' of our first parents at the garden of Eden and their inability to accept responsibility for the wrong done.

This re-iterates the growing need for the faithful to have MoG who are both men of faith and leaders of thought, cause if one cannot accept responsibility for a wrong done then that individual can hardly be described as a leader.

Now those who worhip their Bishops/Overseers/pastors can now see that they are also human beings like us. That they can fall, make mistakes and preach what is not biblically right.(Including the ones here who claim they know the bible more than others) Quite a sad one. Only God is perfect. May God bring that bishop to true repentance and salvation of his soul. Amen.

Sad!

HMMMMM.....

What a shame!
He is not even ashamed of saying we are dragging post. Imagine, dragging post in the house of God.?
He has the spirit of lust, if not, he would have been able to overcome her. Till a girl of 15 pulled her blouse and her skirt, he was there binding and casting the devil until the devil landed on him. With one dirty slap, the girl would have ran out of his office but he choosed not to becos he likes it. The bible says flee fornication not stay and pray when the temptation is close.

Even after confessing, why did he support an abortion, is having $ex with her not enough sin? Its only God that knows those that are really serving him.

Anyway, the bible says judgement will begin in the house of God.
