Bishop Chris arrested for allegedly molesting church members

Bishop Chris Omosekpa, the General Overseer of Peculiar Generation Assembly has been arrested by the police for allegedly molesting church members.

Bishop Chris was picked up by a team of policemen from Elemoro Division of the Lagos State Police Command, weekend from his church premises at Eputu London in Awoyaya, Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos.

It was gathered that the cleric was arrested following a bench warrant issued against him by Justice R. A. Oshodi of the Lagos State Sexual and Domestic Special Offences Court, GRA Ikeja.

The Bishop was accused of allegedly molesting some of his church members, among whom were minors.

He was alleged to have manipulated them through false prophecy and intimidation.

Omosekpa was initially arrested by policemen at Makinde Police Station, Mafoluku, Oshodi and charged to the Ogba Magistrate’s Court where he was granted bail under special circumstances after his lawyer claimed he had COVID-19 and tuberculosis.

Immediately after his bail, Omosekpa was said to have embarked on a public campaign misinforming members of the public that he had been discharged and acquitted.

Chief Operating Officer and Advocate of Children and Vulnerable Persons, ACVPN, Ebenezer Omejalile, told Vanguard that the latest arrest became almost impossible, as the suspect ran to Zone 2, with the intention to get special protection, but he was directed to go back to Makinde Police Station, Mafoluku, Oshodi.

Confirming the arrest, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said: “The arrest was sequel to a bench warrant issued against him by Justice R. A. Oshodi of the Lagos State of Sexual and Domestic Special Offences Court, GRA Ikeja.”
