Ebonyi state – The General Overseer of Champion the Truth Cathedral, Bishop Ndibueze Okorie Onyagoziri, has been arrested for allegedly having repeated sex with a 22-year-old female church member in Ebonyi state.
Bishop Onyagoziri was said to have had canal knowledge of female church members who were in need.
The victim, who is a sickle cell patient, said she started living in the church with the pastor to heal her from the illness through divine treatment.
As reported by The Punch, the victim in a viral video said the “spiritual healing” failed to solve her case as it worsened.
According to the lady, the bishop allegedly assured her that a seven-day sex with him was all she needed for her genotype to change from SS to AA.
The lady gave in to the option because the sickness had already taken the lives of her three other siblings.
She lamented that her health issues became compounded after the seven-day sexual affair with the pastor.
She informed her elder sister, who told her to return home since the so-called divine treatment was no longer working.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, said the pastor was in their custody even as an investigation was ongoing on the matter.
“Yes, the bishop is with us here at the police headquarters, Abakaliki. I don’t have any other information as the case is under investigation.
“On Wednesday, October 1, he was arrested by our men and brought to the state police command over the act.”
