The
Police in Enugu State have arrested one Timothy Ngwu, the General
Overseer
of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity, located at Ihe/Owerre, Nsukka
in Enugu State.Before his arrest on Friday, the self acclaimed Pastor,
who said he was obeying God’s command, has put no less than 20 members
of his church
in a family way.
According to DailyPost ,the spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, disclosed that
"the pastor claims to be obeying prophetic/spiritual
injunction to do the will of God, which is to impregnate any one chosen
and revealed by the Holy Spirit, irrespective of whether the woman is
married or not.When the woman is delivered of the baby, the child remains in the ministry with the mother for life”
Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity, located at Umudikwere, Ihe/Owere
Nsukka in Enugu was not known until DSP Gloria Udoka and her operatives
from the Anti Child Trafficking unit of the state criminal and
investigation department, stormed the place based on the complaint they
received from wife of the Pastor, Veronica Ngwu, bordering on sexual
abuse of people in the ministry, which has brought about indiscriminate
pregnancy among married and single
women in the ministry.According to Veronica, her husband used to be a
well known catechist in Nsukka Catholic.Some of the members’ wives are
now living with him after he impregnated all of them”
It was further disclosed that while acting under the same alleged will of God, the Pastor got his wife’s niece pregnant..
Reacting to the allegations against him, the General Overseer stated
that he has about five wives with thirteen children, apart from other
concubines, who came as a result of the prophetic will of God.He claimed
that he does not do anything with any married woman until full consent
and agreement is reached between him and the husband in line with the
directives of the holy Spirit.
Two of the women, who had left their husband and are now living with the
General Overseer, Calista Omeje, and Assumpta Odo confirmed that they
left their husband and went to the General Overseer based on the
prophetic injunction to do the will of God.
Calista revealed that she is married to her husband with ten children, and that she was impregnated by Timothy, though
the baby
later died.She further disclosed that she also gave her daughter out to
the General Overseer to be impregnated in fulfillment of will of God.
Assumpta Odo also confirmed the development, pointing out that she is
also married with eight children and that the pastor impregnated her as
well as her daughter.
