A self-styled 53-year-old pastor from Enugu, Nigeria who impregnated more than 20 members of his congregation, including several married women and young girls, claiming that the Holy Spirit told him to have sex with them has been arrested for sexual abuse.
Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, a spokesman for the Enugu State
Police Command confirmed that the general overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the
Holy Trinity, Pastor Timothy Ngwu, was arrested for abusing his female members.
“The pastor claims to be obeying prophetic/spiritual injunction
to do the will of God, which is to impregnate any one chosen and revealed by
the Holy Spirit, irrespective of whether the woman is married or not,” said
Amaraizu.
“When the woman is delivered of the baby, the child remains in
the ministry with the mother for life,” he added.
According to a Vanguard report, Ngwu was reported to the police
by his estranged wife, Veronica Ngwu, who got tired of his lascivious behavior
after he impregnated her young niece.
A brother of the pastor, who did not want to be identified, told
Vanguard that he had been warning Ngwu and his family about his behavior for a
long time but he refused to listen. The arrest, he said, was God’s wrath
falling on his brother.
“Let me tell you, God’s anger has befallen my brother, we have
severally appealed to him to stop what he was doing but he refused. He has
colonized our compound, bearing children with recklessness. He accused us of
being jealous of him because he is doing the will of God,” the brother told
Vanguard.
“Look at these buildings here,” he said pointing to the church
compound. “He (pastor) has converted all of them to himself in the name of
vineyard. I can’t say exactly what informed his spirit to the devilish act in
the name of God. He sacked his betrothed wife who has three children for him
and embarked on impregnating married women and young girls. Look at the whole
compound littered with children of different sex and age,” he lamented.
“How can an educated man of his status reason like an unrefined
man? All members of the vineyard are fools, how can a woman abandon her husband
for another man in the name of worshiping God and practice adultery? I cannot
get myself involved in this matter; Vero has opened the vessel of worms in the
vineyard. Let them sort themselves out with the police but I want the ministry
to be shut down completely,” he added.
Ngwu has approximately five wives with 13 children along with
concubines he acquired by the prophetic will of God.
He said he never had sex with any of the married women unless
their husbands agreed with the request of the Holy Spirit.
Calista Omeje and Assumpta Odo, two of the women who left their
husbands to live with the pastor said they did so based on the pastor’s
prophetic anointing.
Calista, who has 10 children with her husband, said Ngwu had
impregnated her but the baby died. She also revealed that she gave her daughter
to him. Odo, a mother of eight, said Ngwu impregnated her and her daughter.
