The Chief Overseer of the Sabbath Church In Dape Village, Life Camp, Abuja has been charged for the murder of one of two teenagers, whom he tied up for three days without food as part of deliverance session.
The police in Abuja on Wednesday filed a criminal suit against the pastor, Isaiah Okoye, for alleged culpable homicide, also listing Ngozi Ogbonna, a member of the church, in the suit.
The suit was filed before Justice Jude Okeke, a vacation judge in the Abuja High Court, who has fixed September 19 for the arraignment of the suspects.
A copy of the charge sheet showed that the police filed a two-count charge on alleged criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide, an offence contrary to the Penal Code.
The charges, filed by Inspector Tony Akerele, alleged that Mr. Okoye performed a “special” deliverance on
two teenagers whom he claimed were witches in his church.
The prosecutor alleged that the accused used ropes to tie the victims for three days without feeding them, which caused the death of one of the victims.
