The officers of the Enugu state Police Command have apprehended a pastor for allegedly impregnating 20 of his female church members.

The clergyman, identified as Timothy Ngwu, who is the general overseer of the Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity was said to have claimed that the Holy Spirit had commanded and given him the mandate to impregnate as many female members of the church as possible, irrespective of their marital status, Daily Independent reports.

Speaking on the incident, the Enugu state Police spokesperson, Ebere Amaraizu said the pastor had been charged for sexual abuse.

Sources privy to the incident attested that the G.O. said the Holy Spirit had given him the mandate to impregnate women in his ministry irrespective of their marital status, adding that, the child given birth by every woman impregnated by the pastor is expected to remain in the ministry with the mother forever.

This ordeal started for the husband of five, father of thirteen, following the report of his wife to the police as regards his randy behaviour, with which Ngwu was alleged to have impregnated her (his wife's) young niece all in the name of obeying a ‘divine instruction’.

Speaking on his apprehension, Ngwu also known with many concubines said he never had canal knowledge of the young girl.

He also affirmed that he only had intercourse with the married women whose husbands concurred to the request of the ‘Holy Ghost’.
