The 60-year-old pastor Rev. Chukwuemeka Orji was removed from the Assemblies of God Church for allegedly def!ling a 13-year-old female domestic worker in Aba, Abia State.
LIB reported that the suspect (PICTURED) was arraigned at a Magistrate Court sitting in the Aba South Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday and remanded with a bail condition to the Abia State Correctional Centre pending the determination of his cases.
ASP Chinaka Maureen, a spokesperson for the Abia State Police Command, confirmed Orji’s detention and stated that the case was still being looked into.
Orji was sanctioned and removed from the ministry, according to Rev. Dr. Don Njoku, the Assemblies of God Church district superintendent for Aba.As a holiness organization, the Assemblies of God Church opposes all forms of promiscuity. We preach against what our pastor did. He is aware that he has been punished as a result, even if the announcement has not yet been made official, according to Rev. Njoku.He is aware that according to our constitution, anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the church. On Sunday, we will visit his church to inform the congregation to take this matter seriously and to encourage them to keep running because when one soldier is hit by a bullet, other soldiers do not shrink; instead, they continue. All they will need to do is be more vigilant because they are aware that in battle, people fall and die.
“So Rev. Chukwuemeka Orji is obviously suspended and expelled from the ministry. Even if the government does nothing against him, this is what we do when one of our members does anything similar since what he did violates everything we speak and stand for as well as what the Bible forbids.
As was previously mentioned, Orji is accused of knowing the victim sexually since she was 12 years old after stealing her away from her family on the premise that he would pay for her schooling.
The priest allegedly threatened to cease funding the victim’s studies and send her back to her family if she told anybody about the illegal activities in an effort to intimidate the victim.
