Prophet Walter Masocha has reportedly resigned from his role as leader of the UK-based Agape For All Nations Church over allegations of incest, a crime he reportedly confessed to.

WuzupNaija gathered from various reports that the self-styled ‘man of God’ had been allegedly having sexual relations with his married daughter.

It was further gathered that the immoral act was revealed when Masocha’s son-in-law discovered explicit messages and nude pictures that his wife had been allegedly sending to her own father.

He was said to have taken the evidence to his mother-in-law, Judith, who confronted Masocha.

Masocha reportedly confessed to having the affair with his daughter and, consequently, resigned from his role as the leader of the church.

His wife, Judith, is reportedly seeking to divorce the cleric.

Though Agape For All Nations Church has not officially confirmed the incest allegation, one of the leaders of the church, Francis Aturia, in a statement, said Masocha was stepping down due to a “serious moral fall”.

The statement reads,

“Sadly, as a result, we would like to inform you all that Dr.Walter Masocha has with immediate effect taken leave of absence in order to deal with a serious moral fall which he has informed his family, the Board of Trustees and the Commissioners.

He is broken hearted and distraught at the result of the misdemeanours and feels that he is not fit to continue as Spiritual Leader of Agape. This has come as a significant shock and blow to Dr Judith and the family, and no doubt to many Agape children and other people worldwide. A full investigation will be conducted in due time, and the appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken.

Many on hearing this will be deeply shocked and disturbed by such a disappointing revelation. We implore you to remember most especially, his gracious wife, Dr Judith and consider a Christ-like response to all who are involved at every level of the church family.

We would like to kindly ask you to remember him and his family in your prayers. In view of the fact that he is on leave from his official role, we would like to ask you all at this time to avoid contacting him. We also urge you to avoid contacting Dr Judith and the family in respect of their privacy at this difficult time.

At this time, we encourage prayer fuelled with loving action to support one another and keep our focus on our Lord Jesus Christ who by His Holy Spirit is the only one that will enable the current tragedy to be worked out ultimately for His own glory somehow, sometime.”

Zimbabwe-born Masocha is no stranger to sexual wrongs allegation. WuzupNaija recalls that the pastor, a former accountancy lecturer at Stirling University, was found guilty of sexually assaulting the deaconess of his church.

He was also convicted of kissing and caressing a 14-year-old girl at the church’s base at Cosyneuk House in Sauchieburn.

The offences were committed between January 2012 and January 2014.

He was cleared of inducing a 13-year-old girl to massage his naked body with oils.
