Church Members Left In Shock As Nigerian Pastor Gets Arrested For S*xually Abusing Two Sisters In Edo

Bishop Gideon Osagie Osazee, founder of Rollo Life of Christ Brethren Ministry, has been arrested over alleged s*xual abuse involving two biological sisters.

Besides the two sisters, four other girls have stepped out to testify that Bishop Osazee had s*xual intercourse with them.

Bishop Osazee was arrested by officials of the Edo State after several days of laying ambush for him.

The two sisters said they were aged 13 and 17 when the s*xual assault took place.

According to the eldest sister, who claimed to be 21 now, said she was sleeping when the suspect had s*xual intercourse with her.

She said, “I woke up and I saw that it was my Pastor. That was how he took advantage of me. He overpowered me. Ona day, he told the church that he would have a midnight deliverance service for me.

"That night, he made me to swear an oath not to reveal about the s*xual encounter and said any man that had s*x with me would be stuck inside because he has a monitoring mirror.”

The younger sister said she was 13 when the accused Bishop had s*x with her. 

On his part, Bishop Osazee, who denied the allegations, said he had a relationship with the eldest of the two sisters. 

He said the victim told him she was 21 as at the time they began the relationship.

Bishop Osazee said he bought her a ring to propose to her.

Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Eugene Abdullah, said other children from the church have spoken out about s*xual harassment from the suspect.

She said the case would be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Edo State Police Command for prosecution.

Faith Edebor, of the Vivian S*xual Assault Referral Centre, said preliminary investigation supported claims of the vicitms.
