General Overseer of the Victory Revival Fasting & Prayer Ministry, Bishop Elijah Orhonigbe has been arrested for allegedly raping a nineteen-year-old girl.

He was arrested by detectives from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Area Command in Warri, Delta State.

The Warri Area Commander of the Nigeria Police, ACP Mohammed Muktar Garba confirmed the arrest.

He said; “The cleric was arrested following a complaint by the mother of the victim at my office. The mother of the victim is a member of the church where her daughter was allegedly raped by the said Bishop.”

“She said the pastor had a dream that death was hovering in their house and for peace to reign, she should bring her daughter, Miracle for prayers (deliverance).”

“The woman brought the lady to the church pastor. I think what really happened is that the pastor drugged that lady and raped her. I personally took the lady to the hospital because she was in a coma for two(2) days.”

“We were looking for this pastor for the past three weeks. We later traced him to where he was hiding and I got him arrested, and we are charging him to court now.”

“This is somebody that I arrested since Friday. He has been in cell since Friday, Saturday, Sunday and today-Monday. I am charging him to court.”

“We have the pictures. We have examined the victim. I took her to the doctor. He has examined her private parts, and we have everything to charge this man to court.”

The victim revealed that;

“I was a member of the church when I was younger but stopped at a time. The Bishop saw a vision and asked my mother to bring me for deliverance.”

“The Bishop said that I slept with a suspected internet fraudster (Yahoo Boy) and that they cleaned me up with a handkerchief with an intention to use me for ritual.”

“The Bishop gave me olive oil to insert in my private part just as he also gave me more to drink before asking me to strip naked and lie down on a mat in the church with the sliding windows and doors closed.”

“He started having sex with me through the back. That was all I could remember. There was sperm all over my body. I shouted. He even said I should come again. I want to be the last he will do this to.”
