Dr Obi.O.Obi, the senior pastor of Anchor of Restoration International Ministry has denied commiting adultry with the wife of a church member.
The pastor was allegedly caught red-handed by the husband of the woman in his house (husband’s bedroom).
Both husband and wife are pastor’s church members.
But Pastor Obi said the allegation was a frame up.
His words: “It is a frame up. When one is running a race for Christ there is always a persecution along the way and one of that persecution is the allegation and by the Grace of God I have conquered.” According to him, everything that happened whether he was found guilty or not, like the nude picture that was posted on social media, were he was stripped and beaten up by thugs is been left for God to judge.
He said that “if one wants to follow God, one has to be very strong because the race is not easy; it’s the race of the fittest, the race for those who are strong, though the bible said that its not he that runneth or winneth but God had shown mercy,” stressin, “I have seen those who had been leached innocently; I am strong, healthy and alive and the church is strongly behind me.”
The pastor further stated that if there was rape there should be a victim, somebody who said that she had been raped did not show herself rather the whole picture was on a personality, an individual and that will make the world know that it was a fabricated story.
On whether he will sue his detractors, the pastor said he had forgiven them.
However sources have it that the Pastor had been wooing the said lady to bed in the absent of her husband in his house, as the man and his son fell sick to the point of death until the woman confessed to the sin, then they planned to catch the pastor.
It was said that the man pretended to have travelled while the woman summoned the pastor as usual, so the pastor from his hotel room went to the woman’s house and moved straight to their bed room, pulled his clothes and laid down in the mans bed, then the woman’s husband worked inside the house, then raised alarm and people gathered to beat up the pastor, stripped him and posted in the face book.
