It was a direction from the Holy Spirit – Pastor says after impregnating over 18 church members

A controversial allegation involving the General Overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity Church in Nigeria has reportedly sparked outrage after claims emerged that he fathered children with nearly 20 female members of his congregation.

Reports suggest that concerns about the pastor’s alleged relationships initially circulated as rumors before some church members reportedly brought the matter to the attention of church leaders.

According to the allegations, the pastor had intimate relationships with several women in the congregation, including married members, and some of the women allegedly became pregnant.

The pastor reportedly defended his conduct by claiming he was acting on instructions from the Holy Spirit. He allegedly maintained that he had been spiritually directed to impregnate as many female church members as possible.

He also reportedly denied forcing anyone into the relationships, claiming that the women involved had agreed to them. In the case of married women, he allegedly insisted that their husbands knew about the supposed spiritual instruction and had consented.

Despite his reported defence, the claims have raised questions about the pastor’s conduct and the responsibilities of religious leaders toward members of their congregations.

However, the allegations presented in the report have not been independently verified. Further confirmation from the church, the individuals involved or relevant authorities would be needed to establish the facts surrounding the matter.
