The Rivers State Police Command is investigating one Pastor Tony Daniel of Jesus Alive Word Refiners International Church, Port Harcourt, who has been accused of raping a 20-year-old woman.
The victim alleged that a choir mistress and a female church member held her while Pastor Daniel raped her violently. Adding that the pastor gave her some substance suspected to be ‘juju’ after the incident to swear that she will not tell anybody.
According to her, the incident happened when she was invited by the Pastor for settlement of issues she is having with the Pastor’s wife.
The spokesperson of the command, SP Nnamdi Omoni, said the investigation followed a petition by a Human rights advocacy group, the Centre For Basic Rights Protection And Accountability Campaign after the victim reported the incident to them.
A member of the group, Barrister Festus Bonwin said they wrote the petition to demand an investigation into the allegation made against the Pastor.
Bonwin also said the group is also asking for adequate Police protection for the alleged victim.
Meanwhile, Wazobia 94.1 FM News had reported on March 19, 2020, last year that Pastor Daniel was detained at Azikiwe Divisional Police headquarters following a complaint by one Mr. Ndidi Austin who alleged he caught the Pastor with his wife in a hotel.
