A pastor is currently cooling his heels in detention in Edo State after he was accused of rubbing anointing oil on the private parts of a pregnant woman.
The Edo State Police Command paraded pastor Jeffery Ihievu, after he was arrested for indecent assault.
Ihievu, attached to the Assemblies of God Church in Esan South East Local Government Area of the state, was arrested after the woman complained to her husband.
The woman had visited the pastor to complain about some bad dreams she had been having since she became pregnant.
It was learnt that the pastor then told her that she needed deliverance and asked her to undress. He then proceeded to apply anointing oil on her private part and breasts.
However, when the woman could no longer feel the kicks of the baby, she became worried and reported what transpired to her husband, who in anger visited the pastor with some street urchins.
The matter was later reported to the police and the pastor was arrested.
The pastor did not deny. He told Standard Gazette he indeed applied anointing oil on the woman’s private parts for deliverance purpose.
“I actually did it for deliverance purpose and nothing more. She complained to me of her situation, and l took her to my office where l used the anointing oil on her private part, and l do not mean harm. Her husband even brought thugs to attack me at home.” he said.
