A 50-year-old traditional healer and Pastor
of the Brotherhood Church, Udo Obot Job
is now cooling his heels in the cell of
Akwa Ibom State police command for
allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl, Mary
Bassey.
The incident, Saturday Sun learnt, led to
the death of the victim’s father who was
ill and receiving treatment at Job’s
healing home when the alleged rape
happened at Ukat Aran village in Nsit
Ubium Local Government Area of Akwa
Ibom State.
It was gathered that Mrs Eno Bassey had
on February 13 taken her husband, Mr.
Stephen Bassey to Job’s healing home for
possible recovery from stroke. The state
Police Commissioner, Mr Gabriel Achong,
who confirmed the development, said
that the suspect had demanded N400,000
for the treatment of Bassey.
He said that the family of the victim’s
wife was able to raise N350,000 for the
treatment while on February 14, the
suspect allegedly told Mrs Bassey to go to
the market to buy some food items for
her husband.
It was learnt that while she went on the
errand, her daughter, a14-year-old Mary
Bassey was drugged and thereafter
deflowered.
“Immediately Mr Bassey heard what Job
did to his daughter, he collapsed and
died,” Achong told Saturday Sun.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police,
State CID Uyo, Mr. Mike Okoli added that
the suspect has been arrested and the
victim, Mary Bassey taken to Akpa Utong
College Hospital where Dr Ubong Okon
confirmed that she was defiled.
Speaking with Saturday Sun, the victim,
Mary said:
“The incident happened on February 14,
when the suspect told my mother that she
should go to the market to buy some food
items for my late father. Pastor Job told
me to pick some sand from the ground
which he said he would use to send away
some ghosts fighting my father.
“I did it by picking some sand from the
ground and immediately, Pastor Job gave
me some drugs to use. He told me that he
wanted my future to be bright. After that,
I found myself on the floor, he took me to
her room and had sex with me and after I
regained my consciousness, I started
shouting. I saw blood and he said I should
go to the stream to bathe. I then called
my brother, Essien and we went and
reported the matter at the police station
at Nsit Ubium.”
In his confession, Pastor Job told Saturday
Sun:
“I am a pastor and I head the
Brotherhood church at Ukat Aran village.
I have been into the ministry for 12 years
now and I am a known traditional healer.
It was on February 13, 2015 that Eno
Bassey brought her husband, Stephen
Bassey who was suffering from stroke and
I promised to heal him. I instructed Eno
to go and buy food items in the market.
“I drugged her daughter and took her into
the room and defiled her. It was the devil
that pushed me into it. Mr Bassey died in
my church when he heard of the
incident”, he said
CP Achong assured that Pastor Job will
soon be charge to court.
