Pastor Chibuike Arrested for Raping Pregnant Woman in Lagos

Following his arrest by the police, Pastor
Chibuike Isreal, 28, appeared before an
Ejigbo Magistrate's Court on Thursday in
Lagos, over alleged unlawful carnal
knowledge and stealing.
The accused, who resides at the Ijegun Area
of Lagos, is facing three-count charge of
sexual assault, stealing and obtaining by
false pretences.
The prosecutor, Femi Adeleye, told the
court that the accused, Pastor Chibuike,
unlawfully had sex with the woman, when
she was nine months pregnant for her
husband.
He told the court that the accused
committed the offences in August at No. 4,
Ojorubutu St, Kudeyibu, Ijegun, a suburb of
Lagos. He added that the accused also
unlawfully obtained N250 from her under
false pretences. Mr. Adeleye, a police
corporal, further told the court that Israel
stole the said amount from his victim.
The prosecutor said that the offences
contravene Sections 250, 263 and 312 of
the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Funny enough, Pastor Chibuike pleaded not
guilty to the charge. His counsel, Jacint
Ogbedele, pleaded with the court to grant
her client bail in the most liberal terms.
And the Magistrate, P.E. Nwaka, granted the
accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with
two sureties.
The case was adjourned to February 10,
2014, for trial.
