The Warri Area Command of the Delta State Police has apprehended a bishop over an alleged rape of a 19-year-old daughter of his church member in Warri.

The Area Commander, Mohammed Garba, disclosed this during a press briefing on Monday.

According to Garba, the suspect, identified as Bishop Elijah Orhonigbe, is the Founder/General Overseer, Victory Revival Fasting and Prayer Ministry in Warri.

He said the suspect was nabbed on June 5 and that he had since been in custody at the “A Division” in Warri.

According to the commander, the cleric was apprehended following a complaint by the mother of the victim.

Garba explained that the mother of the victim was a worshipper in the church where her daughter was allegedly molested.

Garba quoted the mother of the victim to have said the pastor said that he had a dream that death was hovering over their house and that for peace to reign, she should bring her daughter for prayers and deliverance.

He added: “The woman took the lady to the church for the pastor to conduct the prayers and deliverance.

“I think what really happened was that the pastor drugged the lady and raped her.

“I personally took the lady to the hospital because she was in coma for two days.

“We had been looking for the pastor for the past two weeks.

“I later used my detectives to trace and get him arrested.

“I am charging him to court now.

“The man was nabbed on Friday and he has been in cell.

“Now, I am charging him to court.”
 The Area Commander alleged that there were evidences to prove that the pastor raped the girl.
