Miracle seekers are being made to do the unthinkable by fake pastors one of who impregnates three daughters, another poisons three sons, while yet another one forces a chief to drink women’s urine
By Chinedu Oguh, Port Harcourt
A lot is happening in Rivers State very fast in recent times. Fake pastors parading themselves in urban and rural areas of Rivers State continue to wreck havoc in the name of spiritual cleansing and ritual purposes.
Tentacle can authoritatively reveal that a Port Harcourt-based pastor confessed that he impregnated his three biological daughters for ritual purpose.
The occult man turned pastor said his mother initiated him into witchcraft and asked him to impregnate his daughters, just as named his church located at Igbeche, Chukuta on the outskirt of Port Harcourt metropolis as Upper Chamber Ministries.
It was further learnt that the pastor’s evil act was blown open by his son, who reported him to the police; the police arrested and interrogated him before he made the confession.
Sources close to the pastor told Tentacle that those girls whose pregnancies have reached an advanced stage look very sick and malnourished due to poor feeding and lack of medication.
People who spoke to Tentacle expressed their outrage and disbelief over the said incident. Nley Chuks said: “There is nothing I will not hear, where is the world heading? I am speechless; I hope he is not using them for rituals. Some fathers are very wicked and shameless.
In her reaction, Esther Henry said it was unfortunate that most of the time when we hear cases of rape, fornication or pedophile, it is either a pastor or any other servant of God that are usually involved, adding, “The way these people calling themselves pastors are now operating is just scary. A lot has been happening.”
Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State police command has arrested a 42-year-old man, identified as Samuel Otasi for allegedly poisoning his three sons after a pastor told him that they were the wizards frustrating his destiny.
It was learnt that the police at the Igbogini Divisional Headquarters in the state said Otasi forced his sons aged 10, 12 and 14 to drink sniper with the help of a relative, who also was arrested.
According to sources, Otasi decided to kill the children following a prophecy by the pastor identified as George Odugo, who claimed that the children had been bewitched by their mother to destroy his life and destiny.
One of the boys was said to have miraculously survived and managed to escape from the bush where they were tied up and poisoned and later revealed how his father and uncle forced them to drink the chemical, leaving visible rope marks on their bodies.
Tentacle further gathered that medical staff who treated the surviving child confirmed that he arrived unconscious and in critical condition and upon regaining strength, he informed authorities that his two siblings were still in the bush but the time the police arrived the two boys had already given up the ghost.
In a related development, Rivers State Response Team on violence against woman and children has called on the state commissioner of police, CP Olugbenga Adepoju to order the arrest and prosecution of one pastor Ugochukwu Udechukwu Hede, General Overseer of Divine Grace City of the Great King Deliverance Ministries.
The group also called for the arrest of Prince Thompson and 30 other members of the church located at Umuebule 4 in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, alongside Pastor Hede over the alleged attempted murder of Chief Gerald Okwara Obinozie.
A statement signed by the community Public Enlightenment Officer, Queenth Igbara on July 1, 2025 pastor Udechukwu and Prince Thompson allegedly led over 30 members of the church, armed with various dangerous weapons to attack Chief Gerald Okwara Obinazie, inflicting matchet cuts on him, poured fuel on him and asked female members of the church to urinate in buckets of which he (Okwara) was forced to drink.
Coordinator, Rivers State response team on violence against women and children, Tombari Dumka-Kote lamented that the 64-year-old Okwara was subjected to all manner of inhuman treatment including being stripped naked, video-taped and had the videos posted on social media platforms, defaming him on false allegation and only handed him half dead to the police after his colleague escaped and raised the alarm for residents to come out.
Dumka-Kote, who spoke to newsmen after Oyigbo Magistrate Court remanded two of the suspects arrested in connection with the matter called on the Rivers State Commissioner of Police to order the manhunt, arrest and prosecution of the prime suspects and not allow the case be swept under the carpet, adding that the state response team on violence against Women and Children will leave no stone unturned in pressing for justice on the matter.
Speaking on behalf of concerned civil society organizations, who were in Court, Chief Remi Agu, Deputy State lead, Behind Bars Human Rights Initiative, said the police should go after suspect and have them face the law, as nothing short of it will be accepted.
Agu, who commended the police for not taking long his finding the truth, called on the police in the state to intensify efforts to have the prime suspects and others at large arrested and prosecuted.
Narrating his ordeal to newsmen, Chief Okwara Obinozie, expressed his appreciation to God for keeping him alive despite the incident, as the mob was sent to kill him.
The 64-year-old man, who wept bitterly while narrating how female members urinated in buckets, forced to drink and tortured on false allegation of trying to vandalize the church transformer as police investigation confirmed that the report that he drank urine was false.
