A 53-year-old man identified as Pastor
Timothy Ngwu is the General Overseer of Holy Trinity Ministry has been
arrested by the Police in Nsukka, Enugu State, for allegedly
impregnating married women and young girls in his church. According to
him, he was directed by the Holy Spirit to sexually abuse female
members(and their children) of his church in the name of God.Ngwu was
exposed by his estranged wife, Veronica Ngwu, who has three children for
him. She is said to have been uncomfortable with the ugly development
and she then lodged a complaint at the Anti-Child Trafficking Unit of
the Criminal Investigations Department, CID, Enugu, which led to the
pastor’s arrest.
In her statement, she alleged that
her husband converts married women and single girls to his own and
impregnates all of them while pretending to be obeying spiritual
directives. The pastor allegedly claimed that he had sexual intercourse
with women in his ministry as a result of directives from the Holy
Spirit and with the consent of their husbands, if married, but for the
single ones, a spiritual directive. Until his arrest, Ngwu was a
Scrutiny Officer and Statistician with the National Bureau of
Statistics, one time assistant Catechist at St. John’s Catholic Church,
Ihe-Umudikwere, Nsukka. He was chased out of the Catholic Church when
Bishop Emeritus of Nsukka Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Francis Okobo,
discovered that he was teaching heresy; he then started his own church.
The Enugu State Police Command in its statement issued police by the
Public Relations Officer, DSP Ebere Amarizu, stated that 2 women among
others in the enclave of the Vineyard, left their husbands to reside
with the General Overseer on the prophetic injunction to do the will of
God. The statement noted that the pastor said he had five wives with 13
children apart from other concubines he had.
