A Port Harcourt based pastor, Tony Daniel, has been accused of r*ping a 20-year-old woman.

The pastor of Jesus Alive Word Refiners International Church was allegedly aided by the choir mistress of the church with another female member to r*pe the victim in Rivers state.

The victim who reported to a Human rights advocacy group, Centre For Basic Rights Protection And Accountability Campaign, alleged that the choir mistress and another female member of the church, held her down as the pastor r*ped her violently.

She claimed to have been invited by the Pastor for settlement of issues she was having with the Pastor’s wife.

The victim also alleged that the pastor gave her some substance suspected to be ‘juju’ after the incident to swear that she will not tell anybody.

In her own part, the Pastor’s wife said the allegation is a frame up, adding that they told the alleged r*pe victim to pay for light bill which she refused, threatening to go to any length to deal with them.

Pastor Daniel has also denied the accusation.

Meanwhile the state police command through its spokesman, SP Nnamdi Omoni, said it is investigating the matter after a petition was filed by a member of the advocacy group, Barrister Festus Bonwin.

Wazobia 94.1 FM News had reported on March 19, 2020, that Pastor Daniel was detained at Azikiwe Divisional Police headquarters following a complaint by one Mr Ndidi Austin who alleged he caught the Pastor with his wife in a hotel.
