SHOCKING: Story Of Pastor Who Rapes Little Helpless Girls
I am typing this email while
transmitting back after my holiday in
Lagos, Nigeria. I would like to get justice for the young
girls who have been assaulted and raped by the so called
man of God "Pastor Praise" I have not mentioned the name
of the girl who narrated this story to me only a few hours
before I left Lagos as she has been threatened with death if
she ever told anyone.
Girl Z is a young girl child who lives with my sister. She
goes to school and also helps with the kids when she gets
home. I took a liking to her as she is great with the children
and the kids also love her. After a number of unfortunate
changes in her family life, Girl Z found herself in a home
being run by a church organisation in Abuja for children
whose family don't have means to sustain the kids. It was
here that a certain Pastor Praise who also has affiliations
with the home would come to "take boys and girls to Lagos
for what he would call better pastures.
Girl Z told me that she never liked Pastor Praise as she
never felt comfortable around him. He would always call
her stubborn and she always tried her best to avoid him
whenever he showed up at the home to "take" children to
Lagos.
One day, Pastor Praise arrived at the home for Girl Z. She
was to go to Lagos with him. Girl Z didn't want to go as she
didn't feel comfortable around him. They were to stay at his
home in Abuja for a few days before going to Lagos. While
on the bus to his home, he was asking her all sorts of
questions including if she was a Virgin. Girl Z was confused
at this point and she said it not his business. Pastor Praise
called her all sorts of names and called her problematic.
On getting to his house, he sent his house girl on an errand
and in the words of Girl Z, she said "that was when he
forced me" when she said this, I asked if he had raped her,
her answer was YES. I could see a look on her face which I
can't even describe. I just gave her a hug. She was only 12
years old at the time and she would also be raped repeatedly
on several occasions following this. In some instances he
would force her to sit with him, watch pornographic films
and then have forced sex with her. After about a month, he
eventually sent her to Lagos to another church member.
There were also other incidences of rape and forced sex
when he visited and her new guardians were away. He
would often threaten her with death telling her he would kill
her and nobody would find out about it. It appears from her
narration that this pastor is well known in his circles as a
man of God and he had access to the homes where he had
previously brought children from the home in Abuja.
Girl Z told me she also suspects he raped other girls too as
one of the girls who stayed with him after her got
inexplicably pregnant after she arrived in Lagos. Another
girl also told Girl Z that She never wanted to see Pastor
Praise again and if she did, she would KILL him. Yes - this
was coming from little girls who had passed through this
pastor's hands. To cut the long story short Girl Z was
eventually returned to the home in Abuja and eventually
started living with my Sister.
She says she has only ever told this story to my mother. I
don't know what my mother has done and I'm not waiting to
find out.
Girl Z gave me what little information she knew of Pastor
Praise of Living Faith Church. He used to live in the
Maraba area of Abuja ( Ruga area not far from Maraba bus
stop). He lived here around 2011/2012 but he has since
moved apparently and she doesn't know where to - I didn't
think she would be interested in knowing. Pastor Praise
must be named and shamed!
Please show kindness to your house helps. You don't know
where these children are coming from. You don't know their
inner sufferings when they lay on their mats/beds at night.
Try to build an environment where they can open up to you.
There is so much child sexual abuse going on in Nigeria and
it's just too bad. Please name and shame Pastor Praise of
Living Faith Church. Lets stop him and get justice for Girl
Z and the others.
Thank You!
