A randy man of God identified as Dukes (surname withheld) in
Umunede, Delta State who has been accused of sleeping with his church
members in the past two years, has allegedly impregnated seven of his
single female church members and two married women.
While
trouble is currently brewing over the act, it was reliably gathered
that the self-acclaimed man of God had also allegedly seduced several
young girls in neighbouring communities: Ute-Ukpu, Otolokpo under the
guise of providing them with suitors before he moved into Umunede after
his cover was blown.
He was said to have been arrested and
detained at Agbor Police Station by aggrieved parents of his victims for
two days before granted bail.
A member of his church “Light Of
God Ministries” Josephine Ogor said, “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,” she
added.
Investigation revealed that until some married women
started carrying their marital problems to him, the self-acclaimed man
of God allegedly known for magical powers, specialises in mind-blowing
prophecies for unsuspecting members of his church including some highly
placed politicians and businessmen across the state.
His victims,
some who claimed they were hoodwinked into sexual intercourse with him
via magical powers, Awele John, Marble Ogoan and Rosemary Iwendi 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”.
Another victim, a
married woman who did not want her name in the print 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 for her to rub and take from it but this was not to be,
when she found herself in love making with the reverend during the
night.
She said: “I saw myself having sexual intercourse with the
Reverend in my sleep and I was shocked before I made it known to my
husband”.
Further investigation revealed that his modus operandi
is to give out olive oil bottles to unsuspecting female miracle seekers,
young girls looking for suitors, a situation that keep them glued to
him before taking them to bed.
But in swift reaction, the Reverend
dispelled on telephone as untrue and attempts to blackmail him as true
man of God, adding that those who claimed to have been impregnated by
him designed a plot to kill him.
He said: “I am not responsible for their pregnancies, they are lairs”.
At
Agbor Police Division, two investigating police officers who did not
want their names in the print said: “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.”
