A magistrate court has ordered that 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
