How my Pastor defiled my Daughter on multiple occasions for three years – Mother
A woman on Monday told the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Lagos how her 17-year-old daughter was allegedly defiled by the Pastor of Peculiar Generation Assembly Church in the State, Chris Mcdouglas.
According to The PUNCH, the woman said the Pastor raped her Daughter many times at the back of his Church and in different hotels on several occasions.
The Woman gave the witness when she was led in evidence by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr Babajide Martins, at the court.
The Woman said the defendant raped her daughter from 2017 to 2020 in the guise of taking her out for Gospel ministration.
The Woman said when she confronted the defendant for defiling her Daughter, he burst into tears and blamed it on the devil.
She said, “Pastor Mcdouglas will come to my house and ask my Daughter to follow him for ministration so as to use her talent as a chorister to bless others.
“Unknown to me, according to my Daughter, when he takes her out for ministration, he will branch in a Hotel and have sex with her.
“When I confronted him with some leaders in the Church, he said he was deceived by the devil and told me to forgive him.”
The witness, who gave evidence before Justice Ramon Oshodi, said she recorded her conversation as well as the defendant’s alleged confession on her phone.
“The Pastor, whom I trusted so much with my family and saw as my spiritual father, entered my house anytime I was not around to have sex with my Daughter.
“My daughter told me Pastor Mcdouglas would sneak into the house while I was not around, cover the curtains, cover her mouth and force himself on her.
“My Daughter said when he sees that she wants to shout to attract our neighbours, Pastor will bring out the fairly-used clothes that I sell and pretend to be selecting from it,” she added.
She stated that her Daughter’s alleged sexual encounter with the defendant drove her (victim) into depression, which made her faint constantly.
The witness added that the defendant would come to the house and prayed for the survivor whenever she fainted and also told them to sow seed to the Church for her to stay alive
She said, “I used my salary most times to sow seed on the instruction of Pastor Mcdouglas and my Husband also gave him money to buy supplements for me.
“She said sometimes, the Pastor will call her to his house to help wash his Children’s clothes and ended up raping her in his house.
“He threatened my Daughter that she would die if she told anyone about it.”
During cross-examination by the defence counsel, Mr Suleiman Salami, the witness told the court that she had known the defendant for more than 12 years and that her husband had been outside Nigeria for 10 years.
She stated that the defendant used to collect money from her family and he did not offer financial help to her family.
The woman said she was a member of the ushering department, an administrative officer and a member of the building committee of the church but left the church in 2020.
She confirmed to the court that the survivor, who was her first daughter, was depressed from 2017 to 2020.
“My daughter is moody whenever she comes back from pastor’s house, which is inside the church.
“Pastor does not give me breathing space as he is always in my house.
“My daughter always faints anytime she comes back from ministration and pastor always gives her holy water to drink.
“This has affected my daughter as she always have suicidal thought because I once received a call from her school that she wanted to buy an insecticide,” she said.
In view of the woman’s witnessing, the pastor is now standing trial on nine counts bordering on defilement, rape and sexual assault by penetration, preferred against him by the Lagos State Government.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Govt suspend Doctors for leaving scissors in patient’s stomach after operation
The Kano State Hospitals Management Board has acknowledged that the death of Aishatu Umar, a five-time mother, resulted from professional lapses at the Abubakar Imam Urology Centre, a government health facility in Kano.
According to a statement issued by the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Samira Suleiman, an internal probe initiated by the Executive Secretary, Dr. Mansur Mudi Nagoda, revealed that medical staff failed to remove surgical scissors from the patient’s body after an operation, a mistake that proved fatal.
Following the findings, the Board ordered the suspension of three staff members connected to the procedure, barring them from all clinical responsibilities with immediate effect.
The case has also been handed over to the Kano State Medical Ethics Committee, which will conduct a more detailed inquiry and determine appropriate sanctions in accordance with existing regulations and ethical guidelines.
“The Board extends its deepest condolences to the family of the late Aishatu Umar and sympathizes with them over this painful loss. We reassure the public that negligence will not be condoned in any form,” the statement read.
Aishatu Umar reportedly died after complications arising from a surgery in which surgical scissors were allegedly left in her abdomen.
Her husband, Abubakar Muhammad, said she repeatedly complained of worsening health conditions after the operation, but her concerns were not adequately addressed before her death.
The tragedy has triggered widespread anger among Kano residents, drawing attention to systemic weaknesses in supervision and accountability within public hospitals.
