– Pastor impregnates nine church members
– Victims reveal how they were deceived
– Pastor says they are all liars
A Delta-based pastor has reportedly slept with and impregnated seven
single ladies and two married women, all members of his church.
According to The Punch, the man of God simply identified as Dukes has
been on the alleged act for over two years, a situation which has led
to impregnation of the women.
Reports also say the self-acclaimed man of God had also seduced
several young girls in neighbouring communities with the pretext of
helping them with suitors before he relocated to Umunede to save face
after his antics had been discovered.
Dukes was reportedly detained at Agbor Police Station by aggrieved
parents of his victims for two days before being granted bail.
According to Josephine Ogor, a member of his ‘Light Of God Ministries’ church, “The self acclaimed reverend uses preaching, choirs and organised youth fellowship to get young girls.
“That was what he did in Ute-Okpu, Otolokpo neighbouring
communities before he moved into Umunede and he was driven away by the
elders of the communities, he likes girls of 15, 16 and 17 years he
sleeps with.”
Some married women were also reported to have started carrying their
marital problems to him, and known for his magical powers, the women
were made to feast on his mind-blowing prophecies, especially
unsuspecting members of his church including some highly placed
politicians and businessmen across the state.
Some of his victims, Awele John, Marble Ogoan and Rosemary Iwendi,
who claimed they were hoodwinked into sexual intercourse with him via
magical powers, said: “Please Mr. Pressman don’t use our pictures.
“The man is fake, he uses magical powers to woo young girls he
sleeps with, that was how we fell into his net, and our eyes were
opened.”
And one of the married woman who fell prey of the pastor’s antics,
said she had gone to the reverend’s house to seek advice on constant
quarrels between her and the husband for possible solution when Dukes
allegedly gave her anointed oil.
The woman who pleaded anonymity said she was asked to rub and take
from the oil but she suddenly found herself making love with the
reverend during the night.
“I saw myself having sexual intercourse with the Reverend in my sleep and I was shocked before I made it known to my husband,” she said.
The clergyman’s usual mode of getting people is by asking them,
especially unsuspecting female miracle seekers, young girls looking for
suitors, among others, olive oil bottles which eventually keeps them
inseparable from him.
Dukes, when contacted, reacted in the negative, saying that the
reports were attempts by people who want to blackmail and kill him as a
true man of God.
According to him, “I am not responsible for their pregnancies, they are lairs.”
Two investigating police officers, who also pleaded anonymity at the police station, informed that, “We
are currently investigating the Reverend after some parents of the
girls he allegedly seduced reported the matter at the station, we have
earlier arrested and released him on bail while investigation is
ongoing.”
