The suspect, Pastor David Onyekachukwu, from Nsukka, volunteered to provide shelter and also conduct deliverance on the girl after she was accused of witchcraft. After she moved into his place, he took advantage of her vulnerability and repeatedly raped her.
The victim, who was a JSS2 student of one of the government schools in Abuja, dropped out and was in dare need of accommodation when her parents died in 2018.
The pastor had lost his wife and was living with his daughter before accommodating the victim who spoke of how the pastor started making love advances toward her, an action she constantly resisted.
