Edo State Police Command disclosed that it has arrested a pastor for immoral assault after he touched the private part of a pregnant woman.
The suspect, Jeffery Ihievu, who is the pastor of Assemblies of God Church in Esan South East Local Government Area of the state was arrested after trouble broke out between him and the pregnant woman’s husband.
According to Standard Gazette, the woman had gone to the pastor with a complaint about some bad dreams she had after conception.
Consequently, the preacher informed her that she needed deliverance to prevent the nightmare from recurring.
He asked her to undress while he applied anointing oil on her private part and breasts.
The woman, who is 11th months gone, reported the incident to her husband when she could no longer feel the kicks of the baby.
The embittered man was said to have led hoodlums to Ihievu’s house and attacked him.
The family subsequently reported the incident to the State Police headquarters in Benin City which culminated in the arrest of the pastor.
In an interview with Standard Gazette, pastor Ihievu admitted that he committed the said offence but insisted it was for deliverance purpose.
