for the first time the day she came for counselling in church.
“The pastor told the police that the accused complained that she was
always having dreams of a man having sexual intercourse with her every
night. “The pastor arranged to carry out deliverance for the accused and
later told her to come with her relatives.. “But to Ophie’s surprise,
the accused came some weeks after the deliverance session and told him
that she had a dream about him sleeping with her.
“Godwin
claimed the complainant impregnated her spiritually and the accused then
started to demand for money to register for antenatal care.
“The accused obtained the sum of N5000 for antenatal care from the
complainant, on the pretext that she will bear a spiritual baby.’’
The accused however pleaded not guilty to the charges.
