The General Overseer of Tongue of Fire Restoration Ministry, Chukwuma Nkwocha, who was arrested few weeks ago for allegedly camping and defiling about 30 under-aged girls, has been slammed with more allegations after eight more girls have come out to claim that the pastor also slept with them.

 

Recall that the 38-year-old cleric was discovered to have camped and defiled kids aged 10 to 15 and he was said to have lured the girls to his house based on their lack of places to sleep.

 

The Lagos police team and operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), who arrested Nkwocha on last month during a church service at the church premises located in Sogunle area of the state, acted on a petition that the pastor was camping and defiling girls.

 

In a new development on Thursday, eight more girls have spoken out, accusing Pastor Nkwocha of sleeping with them forcibly in his house. This brought the number of the girls allegedly abused by Nkwocha to 38.

 

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Adeniji Kazeem, told newsmen that a detailed research was carried out in February in all prison facilities in Lagos on sex convicts and inmates awaiting trial for S*xual and Gender Based Violence, SGBV cases.

 

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Dolapo Badmos, while confirming the development at the state Secretariat, Alausa, said the Command is set to kick off a month-long awareness campaign against all forms of domestic and s*xual violent crimes.

“The girls were taken to a private hospital to confirm the allegation if they were actually raped by the pastor and have been taken to the Protective Centre of the State Police Command at Ikorodu,” she said.
