Prophet Loses Control During Deliverance, R*pes Girl, 11

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A prophet has been arrested for allegedly drugging and raping an 11-year old girl during deliverance.
The Prophet, Ikechukwu Nwadike, landed in trouble after he reportedly lost control while conducting deliverance on the girl and ended up raping her in the process.P.M.EXPRESS reports that the alleged rape took place at Umuazu village in Uke, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The prophet was said to have moved into the premises of Ichie Otutu Muonwem of Umuazu, Uke, about four months ago in the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic and converted the place to his worship centre.

The mother of the victim, Mrs. Peace Ejikeme, a 42-year old widow, who lost her husband in an accident in 2014, said Prophet Nwadike drugged and raped her daughter during deliverance after he told her that the girl was possessed by two demonic spirits.

“On September 17, the Prophet gave a prophecy about my daughter that two spirits, a demonic spirit and a heavenly spirit, were fighting to gain control of her life and that there was an urgent need to separate her from the evil spirit.”
“The prophet said I should send her for a midnight deliverance. It was therefore, shocking to hear from my daughter on her return that she will not go to that prophet and his Church anymore. As she was narrating her ordeal of rape, I broke down in tears.”
“When confronted, the Prophet denied the act, saying he only rubbed oil all over her body. I asked him why he wanted to destroy my child when he has his own. He then fell on his knees begging for forgiveness, that it was temptation and he would never repeat it again,” she said.

The mother further alleged that the Prophet administered some concoctions laced with Indian hemp on her daughter, which made her drowsy for some days.
Incensed by the allegation, youths in the area mobilised to have the said prophet arrested. 
He was arrested and detained at the Zone 13 Headquarters in Dunukofia.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Nkiru Nwode, said the matter was still being investigated and the suspect would be charged to Court after investigations were concluded.

Prophet Nwadike risks several years of imprisonment if he is found culpable, charged before the Court and convicted for the alleged offence.
