Sources close to the family told the paper that they suspected the pastor might have infected the boy with HIV after the boy tested positive for the deadly disease.

The pastor, during interrogation by the police, admitted sodomizing the boy but denied that he had sex with the teenager five times.

He said it occurred only once under the influence of alcohol after an outing with the victim who was living with him in his house.

Pastor Tunde Bakare, who is the General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly has spoken against the suspension handed out to John and Love Kumuyi, over the wedding attire the bride wore.

“I personally did not see what they have done wrong. A man is entitled to his own authority in his own home.1st Peter Chapter 3. A wife should dress to please the husband and not the members of the church or public. It’s sheer wickedness to the couple, they should leave them to enjoy their honeymoon,” he said in a recent interview.

“They should not squeeze them to the modus operandi of a particular organization. I did not see anything wrong in the wedding. The bride was not naked or dressed inappropriately and the groom didn’t. Esther the queen was beautifully dressed in the bible to gain the king’s attention. They should not make mountain out of a molehill.

“I was in the Deeper Life Bible Church for five years and nobody compelled me to dress the way I dressed. My wife was with me in the church though we weren’t married then. She wears earrings and dresses nicely. All this talk about this couple should stop.”

A Port Harcourt-based cleric, Bishop Chibuike Nwabueze was on Tuesday paraded before the media by the Rivers State police command for allegedly raping a 15-year old girl.

Although he claimed to have both been hypnotised as well as set up by a colleague bishop, the cleric confessed to having a “carnal knowledge” of the teenager in question.

He said his ordeal was orchestrated by another bishop in whose office the immoral act took place, adding that plot to ensnare and embarrass him followed on the desire of his brother bishop to displace him as the chairman of all bishops in the state, a post he (the accused bishop) currently occupied.

The accused also denied reports that he assisted in aborting the pregnancy that resulted from the illicit act with the teenager, alleging that it was the girl’s father who did the abortion, while he, the bishop, paid for the cost.

“We have different colleges of bishops. I am the chairman of Communion of Bishops in Rivers

PHOTOS: Nollywood Actress, Eucharia Anunobi Arrives Dakar for Crusade, Lambast ‘Haters’

Veteran actress Eucharia Anunobi is currently in Dakar, Senegal for a 5 days prophetic Summit tagged, Pursue, Overtake and Recover All – a programme organised by the Beautiful Gate Family Church.

Prior to her departure, an interesting drama had played out between the actress and her fans – this happened after she announced her intended ministerial assignment in Dakar on her facebook page.

As soon as she made the post, her fans, rather her frenemies started commenting on Eucharia’s dress sense; this angered the woman of God, and she reacted accordingly (but thank God the spirit of Elijah was not in her).

Some of the comments;

“I can see d evidence of Pursue in ur attire, may God help you with spiritual understanding to help you correct yourself Eucharia”

“The earth is a preparatory ground for eternity! Wat wil it profit u if u pursue, overtake and recover earthly tins and looses ur soul? Pursue God's kingdom 1st and al other tins na jara!”

“Study ur bible wel, it's there in 1Peter, Genesis 35 and Exodus 33. Take ur time, pay the price and God wil reveal his secrets to u. Many youths r lookin up to u, lead by example biko! God wil help u.”

At this junction the Evangelist couldn’t take it any longer, so she fired back;

“Am grateful to God for He is not a man. If He was like anyone one of us, what would any of us, including u people condemning whom He has not condemned do?”

“Am wondering who amongst u people has the keys to heaven and hell? And maybe, the Lamb's book of life has been given to both Dim Priscy Chioma, Felix Mckins and Augustine Ayodeji Origbo? beware, if u think u're standing.”

Why I rarely make public comments - Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has explained that he is careful in making public comments to avoid mistakes.

Did Pope Francis Perform An Exorcism?

The case is about a 43-year-old husband and father who travelled to Rome from Mexico to attend Francis' Mass on Sunday in St. Peter's Square. At the end of the Mass, Francis blessed several wheelchair-bound faithful as he always does, including a man possessed by the devil, according to the priest who brought him, the Rev. Juan Rivas.

Pope Francis laid his hands on the man's head and recited a prayer. The man heaved deeply a half-dozen times, shook, and then slumped in his wheelchair.

The images, broadcast worldwide, prompted the television station of the Italian bishops' conference to declare that according to several exorcists, there was "no doubt" that Francis either performed an exorcism or a simpler prayer to free the man from the devil.

The Vatican, in a statement Tuesday, said Francis "didn't intend to perform any exorcism. But as he often does for the sick or suffering, he simply intended to pray for someone who was suffering who was presented to him."
