Pastor Elijah Emenendu of the Chapel of Revelation Deliverance Ministry has been arrested for allegedly rαping three brothers under the pretense of releasing powers into them.
The cleric was reportedly arrested by the police officers under the Ajegunle division in Lagos after he was accused of having carnal knowledge of three brothers on the “pretence of transferring the power of God into them through anal sex.”
The Advocate for Children and Vulnerable Peoples Network (ACVPN), stated that three brothers who are members of his church were lured in turns and rαped by the pastor.
According to ACVPN, Pastor Emenendu had started with the eldest brother (name withheld) by encouraging the young man to stop internet fraud popularly known as “Yahoo Yahoo”.
Afterward, the pastor allegedly informed the boy that to experience the power of God, he would release the power into him through anal sex.
After his first victim, Emenendu told the second brother that the quality of his semen and penis was low. He then taught him how to masturbate and had oral sex with him.
The pastor falsely prophesied to the youngest brother and had sex with him.
Pastor Emenendu also lured all three brothers into his hotel room to have sex with each other after church service.
The sexual molestation was revealed after one of his victims summoned courage and reported the molestation.
The advocate said, “He (Pastor Elijah Emenendu) started by prophesying that God wanted the eldest to stop “yahoo”, taught him how to masturbate, then told him that he wanted the boy to experience the power of God and he would release power into him through anal sex.
“The boy agreed but was bleeding from the act and was in severe pains. The pastor had sex with him four times in a week, twice a day, inserted mop stick into his anus, used syringe needle to prick his scrotum and navel. The boy has been living with him since last year and endured sex episodes with him.
“From the first boy, the pastor moved to his immediate younger brother and taught him masturbation. He moved to the little brother and had sex with him too. He made them have sex with each other in his hotel room after church service.
“These boys are badly messed up. The greatest deception is to sodomise boys in the name of God. The case has been transferred from Ajeromi Police Station to Area B command.”
