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.

NBA legend Michael Jordan tried to win entrance into Kennedy's lower part during a steamy dice game back in 1995 ... so says the former MTV star, who claims she was a virgin at the time.

 Kennedy -- who was a huge MTV VJ back in the '90s -- details the encounter in her new book "The Kennedy Chronicles" ... explaining how she was having dinner with MJ and Russell Simmons at the Bowery Bar in NYC, when Michael broke out some dice.

Kennedy says she freaked out because she was a virgin --and imagined MJ's giant manhood would "eviscerate me from the inside out" ... so she asked if they could play for Knicks tickets instead.

And that's when Jordan allegedly reminded Kennedy he had a wife -- and offered her Nets tickets as a consolation.
