Standard, Kenya
A 37-year-old pastor has been charged in court for allegedly
defiling a minor.
According to police documents, the mother and her 15-year-
old-daughter needed prayers to cope with the burdens of life.
The girl‘s mother reportedly invited pastor Jackson Mwangi
Ndegwa of Jesus of the Lord Church to her home in September during the
teachers’ strike when her daughter was home. The youthful pastor was reportedly
introduced to her by a friend.
A report filed at the police
indicates that during the prayers which were conducted at the mother‘s house in
Bahati, Nairobi, pastor Ndegwa is said to have declared that the woman and her
daughter were possessed by evil spirits that called for longer prayers.
The mother told police that Pastor
Ndegwa “had extraordinary powers because while praying for us, he touched me
around the breasts and I became confused.”
It was reported that after more than
an hour, pastor Ndegwa allegedly turned to the woman‘s daughter and enquired
whether she had a boyfriend or was in an intimate relationship, claiming he had
‘seen’ a man in her life who has been having sex with her.
Pastor Ndegwa then reportedly
suggested that the prayers be done out of the city. Apparently, he could only
pray for mother and daughter one at a time. “I let him pray for my daughter at
a hill he suggested in Limuru and gave him Sh1,500 for transport,” claimed the
mother.
Before leaving at around 6:30pm, the
pastor reportedly requested the woman and her daughter to visit a nearby clinic
in Hamza for HIV screening, claiming that he had seen dark spirits.
It was reported that on arriving in
Limuru, the pastor told the girl that it was dangerous to proceed to the hill
at night and booked a room instead for overnight prayers.
At around 10pm, the victim claimed
that the ‘man of God’ asked her to remove all her clothes so that he could
apply anointing oil on her to drive away evil spirits.
The minor told police that, “He
applied oil all over my body and finally in my private parts before telling me
to have sex with him to drive out evil spirits”.
Pastor Ndegwa, according to the
girl, had sex with her twice without using protection before returning her home
the following day with instructions that she must bathe twice and change
clothes.
