Lagos Mother Accuses Pastor Of Raping Teenage Daughter For Three Years

A Lagos State-based businesswoman has accused her former pastor, one Chris Mcdouglas of defiling her 17-year-old daughter.

The victim’s mother dragged the pastor to an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in the state on Monday.

She said the Peculiar Generation Assembly Church, Lagos pastor had carnal knowledge of the teenager in different locations including the back of his church and different hotels.

According to her, the defendant raped her daughter from 2017 to 2020 in the guise of taking her out for gospel ministration.

The victim’s mother was led in evidence in chief by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr Babajide Martins.

Mcdouglas pleaded not guilty to the nine counts bordering on defilement, rape and sexual assault by penetration, preferred against him by the Lagos State Government.

Narrating her side of the story, the victim’s mother said, “Pastor Mcdouglas will come to my house and ask my daughter to follow him for ministration so as to use her talent as a chorister to bless others.

“Unknown to me, according to my daughter, when he takes her out for ministration, he will branch in a hotel and have sex with her.

“When I confronted him with some leaders in the church, he said he was deceived by the devil and told me to forgive him.”

She told the Justice Ramon Oshodi-led court that she recorded her conversation as well as the defendant’s alleged confession on her phone.

“The pastor, whom I trusted so much with my family and saw as my spiritual father, entered my house anytime I was not around to have sex with my daughter.

“My daughter told me Pastor Mcdouglas would sneak into the house while I was not around, cover the curtains, cover her mouth and force himself on her.

“My daughter said when he sees that she wants to shout to attract our neighbours, pastor will bring out the fairly-used clothes that I sell and pretend to be selecting from it,” she added.

She stated that her daughter’s alleged sexual encounter with the defendant drove her (victim) into depression, which made her faint constantly.

The witness added that the defendant would come to the house and prayed for the survivor whenever she fainted and also told them to sow seed to the church for her to stay alive

She said, “I used my salary most times to sow seed on the instruction of Pastor Mcdouglas and my husband also gave him money to buy supplements for me.

“She said sometimes, the pastor will call her to his house to help wash his children’s clothes and ended up raping her in his house.

“He threatened my daughter that she would die if she told anyone about it.”

She confirmed to the court that the survivor, who was her first daughter, was depressed from 2017 to 2020.

“My daughter is moody whenever she comes back from pastor’s house, which is inside the church.

“Pastor does not give me breathing space as he is always in my house.

“My daughter always faints anytime she comes back from ministration and pastor always gives her holy water to drink.

“This has affected my daughter as she always have suicidal thought because I once received a call from her school that she wanted to buy an insecticide,” she said.
