My Pastor Taught Me Masturbation, Pornography, Witness Tells Court 

Middle-aged man, Chigozie Emmanuel, on Monday, told an Ikeja High Court how his pastor, Elijah Emenandy, allegedly introduced pornography and masturbation and anal sex to him in his church office. 

Emmanuel testified against Emenandy, charged with sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault. 

He was led in evidence by Lagos State counsel, Mr Olu Azeez.

The alleged survivor told the court that the incident happened when he was 19 years old and the defendant was his pastor. 

The witness further said that the defendant, thereafter, requested to penetrate his anus, but he refused and the next morning the defendant was angry, accusing him of refusing to do the work of God with him (defendant).

He told the court that days later, because the defendant was persistent, he agreed to anal sex and was seriously bruised afterwards because he bled for two days.

According to him, the pastor made him masturbate with the defendant twice daily.

He said the next assignment was to drink the defendant’s urine, an act, he said, he refused at first but later did after much persistence.

The alleged survivor further said that the defendant would ejaculate in his mouth and said it was power being transferred.

Emmanuel said the defendant also told him to eat his faeces which he did once and vomited, however problem started when he started watching pornography on his own with the phone the defendant gave to him.

He said the defendant asked him to always watch same-sex pornography and not the opposite and he would beat him up, whenever he had a wet dream, piercing his manhood, scrotum and his stomach with a syringe.

He informed the court that on one occasion, the defendant used the middle to pierce his veins and black blood started gushing.

The alleged survivor said that at one time, the defendant pierced his body, used St. Micheal oil on his eyes, poured grounded pepper on his body that was bleeding and asked him to eat the faeces of a dog which he did after much force and he vomited.

Justice Oyindamola Ogala adjourned the case until Dec. 11 and Dec. 14 for continuation of trial.

The defendant, who appeared sick and was reported to have been brought from the hospital, is standing trial on a three-count charge of sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault.

The offences are contrary to Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

He pleaded not guilty on arraignment. (NAN)
