Douala: Pastor Arrested for Sexual Assault

A Pastor whose name we got as Fabrice is behind bars at the Douala 3 Municipality for sexual assault on a lady. Fabrice 23 years of age was carrying out prayers at a resident when Pascaline a mother of one came in for a visit, the family invited her for prayers but she refused but the Pastor insisted and convinced her with a prophesy that she was possessed by some evil spirits.

The lady scared of this revelation succumbed to the pastor’s demand and the pastor scheduled a private prayer session with the lady in question. It was during this session that the pastor using secrete ointment on the lady’s body, touched her private part and the whole prayer session turned into drama session as Pascaline started screaming for help. The neighbors heard the screams which did not sound like those of a person under deliverance and rushed to the scene, the lady started narrating the story but Pastor Fabrice keeps insisting the story is fabricated. He said “I acknowledge having prayed for this lady but the accusations levied on me are not true”.

People have turned from traditional witch doctors to Pastors who can deliver them from spiritual attacks or illnesses instantly. The forefront of this phenomenon is the Pentecostal churches gaining grounds in our community due to the lucrative nature of the activity. Most people want to become ‘Men of God’ just become rich and by so doing tarnish the image of the real Men of God.
