A pastor who impregnated twenty of his female congregants has been arrested by officers of the Enugu State Police Command.

53-year-old Timothy Ngwu is said to be the General Overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity, Enugu.

The pastor was reported to have claimed that the Holy Spirit had commanded him to impregnate as many female members of the church as possible.

Enugu police spokesperson, Ebere Amaraizu stated, however, that the pastor had been charged for sexual abuse.

Sources close to the pastor’s ministry told The INDEPENDENT that the pastor claimed his action was in obedience to the spiritual order to do the will of God, by impregnating anyone chosen and revealed by the Holy Spirit, irrespective of the woman’s marital status.

A source further informed that whenever a woman impregnated by the pastor is delivered of a baby, the child is supposed to remain in the ministry with the mother for life.

Investigation further revealed that the pastor was reported at the police by his own wife who got tired of his randy ventures in the name of God even after he had also impregnated her young niece all in the name of obeying a ‘divine instruction’.

In his defense, the pastor said he never had sex with any of the married women unless their husbands concurred to the request of the ‘Holy Ghost’.

Meanwhile, he has been quoted to have said that he has only five wives with 13 children along with other concubines he got after the ‘Holy Spirit commanded’ him to do so.
