Pastor Amos Isah, the founder of Prophetic Victory Voice of Fire Ministry in Gwagwalada, Abuja, was last Wednesday arraigned.
He appeared before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court over allegations of raping a 14-year-old girl inside the church auditorium.
A report by SaharaReporters said that the police arraigned Pastor Isah at the FCT High Court 1, Maitama.
The case had sparked widespread outrage, with calls for justice amid fears of delayed prosecution.
Pastor Isah was arrested on June 18, 2025, after the victim’s father filed a complaint.
The clergyman is accused of luring the minor into the church’s new auditorium, locking multiple doors, and sexually assaulting her.
After the assault, he allegedly gave her ₦3000 for “medication” upon noticing she was bleeding and threatened to kill her and her family if she reported the incident.
A family member said that Isah had a history of preying on underage girls, often taking them to secluded areas in his tinted-window car.
The latest incident reportedly followed a pattern where he would manipulate young girls into meeting him under false pretences before assaulting them.
Despite the completion of investigations by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Pastor Isah remained in detention for weeks without formal charges.
His remand order was set to expire, raising suspicions of intentional delays in prosecution.
Sources indicated that the case file was forwarded to the FCID’s legal department, but no immediate action was taken, fueling concerns about possible interference.
The allegations have shocked the congregation and the broader public, particularly given Pastor Isah’s public image as a charismatic preacher who frequently preached about holiness and morality on social media. His church, located behind Noble Noel Academy in Gwagwalada, has been a prominent worship center in the area.
The victim’s father reported the crime after learning of the assault, leading to Isah’s arrest. However, the family expressed frustration over the slow legal process, fearing that the case might be swept under the rug.
A relative disclosed: “He has been targeting minors for years. This girl is just one of many. We demand justice and urge the authorities to ensure he faces the full wrath of the law.” [SaharaReporters]
