Enoch Sule, the General Overseer of Prayer Tabernacle Ministry, Kamurum Bajju, Kaduna State has been remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly raping and getting two sisters pregnant.
Sule was said to have deceived the older sister, 19, into accompanying him to the mountain for prayer and fasting.
While on the mountain, the self acclaimed prophet instructed the girl to remove her cloth and pray naked as directed by the Holy Spirit.
Sule forcefully had sexual intercourse with the girl while on the mountain, which resulted in pregnancy.
A month later, in April, Sule repeated the same trick on the girl’s 17-year-old younger sister and also got her pregnant.
Sule, is charged by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) with rape an offence, contrary to Section 258 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law.
Judge, Samson Kwasu of the Chief Magistrates’ Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, however, didn’t take the plea of Sule for lack of jurisdiction to hear the matter.
Kwasu instructed the prosecutor to forward the case files to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
The judge adjourned both cases until September 8 for further mention.
Earlier, the NSCDC prosecutor, Marcus Audu, told the court that the matter was reported to the corps by the Salama Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Kafanchan, on August 8.
Audu narrated how the prophet tricked the two sisters to the mountain at different times, raped them and got them pregnant.
The two sisters’ cases against the prophet were filed and read out separately.
