Pastor Philip Ogbebor, Founder and
General Overseer of a Pentecostal
Church in Benin City, be remanded
at the Federal Medium Security Prison, Oko
for allegedly having carnal knowledge of a
20-year-old male member of his church and
administering secret oaths on him, including;
threatening to kill him if he told anyone.
Surprisingly, the randy pastor of Breakthrough
Ministries, Owina Street, off Sakponba road Benin
city, neither denied the allegation of homosexuality
levelled against him by the parents of one of his
victims nor blamed the devil as many culprits will
do. Instead, he said, "I am only passing through
temptation. I only did it four times with the man
who is 22 years old and a regular member of my
church. I can't claim that it was the devil's
influence , let God decide my case."
However, the 42 year old randy pastor has been
arraigned before a Magistrate court in Benin city on
a charge bordering on indecent assault contrary to
Sections 214(1) and 353 of the constitution
respectively.
The Magistrate was said to have ordered his
detention at the Oko medium security prison in the
state capital pending the commencement of trial.
He faces a 14-year jail term, if found guilty by the
court.
