Abuja Pastor in Custody Over Alleged Sexual Assault of Teenager
Pastor Amos Isah, the founder of Prophetic Victory Voice of Fire Ministry International, is currently in police custody over allegations of raping a 14-year-old girl in Abuja.
The Federal Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) confirmed it is handling the case discreetly. The alleged incident reportedly occurred within the pastor’s spiritual circle in Gwagwalada, where the girl had been seeking counseling and prayers.
Police Remain Tight-Lipped as Investigation Progresses
Although details remain scarce, sources say Pastor Isah was arrested following a formal complaint by the victim’s family. The FCID is reportedly managing the case at a high level due to the pastor’s influence and visibility.
There are fears that attempts may be made to suppress the case. Some insiders have claimed there’s pressure to shield the pastor’s identity, but human rights groups are calling for transparency and justice.
Church Silent, Community Reacts With Outrage
The alleged assault has sparked widespread outrage, especially on social media, where many Nigerians are demanding full accountability. Pastor Isah, who last appeared publicly on June 18 during a church service, has been absent from his ministry since his arrest.
Located behind Noble Noel Academy in Gwagwalada, the church has yet to issue any official statement.
Next Steps in the Legal Process
Police are expected to conclude preliminary investigations and, if evidence holds, arraign Pastor Isah in court. The case has reignited debates about abuse within religious institutions and the urgent need for reform.
Activists stress that the rights of the minor must be prioritized and protected throughout the legal process.
