Prophet Anwana Peter Essien, the pastor of Restoration Bible Church in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for defiling his 10-year-old stepdaughter.
When the victim’s mother took her and her younger sister on vacation to their stepfather’s home on 9 August, 2019, the Prophet — a native of Afaha Ise in the Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area —reportedly defiled his victim, a JSS 1 student.
In his confessional testimony, the offender acknowledged committing the act, claiming that the “Devil pushed him at midnight to forcefully have a carnal knowledge of his step daughter.”
Justice Okon Okon, the presiding judge, who condemned the act in his ruling, stated that the confession was clear and unambiguous that the defendant was the one who committed the crime.
He said the evidence of prosecution witnesses such as the medical report and the confessional statement have proven beyond every reasonable doubt that the convict was guilty of the crime.
While committing him to prison for 21 years, justice Okon said it was with effect from the time the convict was taken into custody in the Uyo Custodial Centre.

ReplyDeleteMen men men!
ReplyDeletePls let's have self control.
See how this man's life has been truncated because of a few minutes of s#x. Even if you are "tempted" like some do claim,resist it and run!
This is not a pastor but a devil in making..They are so much now..
ReplyDeleteUsing the word of God as a cover up to commit atrocities is wat pissed me off the most
Prophet that lacks self control. Let him rot in jail.
ReplyDeletePlease it is not an issue of self control. Shouldn’t be. No sane human should be sexually aroused by a ten year old. Should never happen. Making it about self control is misusing the word
DeleteWhat's in a year old girl that a grown man would desire.

ReplyDeleteYesterday he was a man of god. Today he is a pedophile. How do you know the ones you are following are not worse? Because she or he hasn't been caught? Don't read your Bible to know God. Keep jumping from one criminal to another in search of knowledge that's already in you.
