A prominent man of God, one Bishop Onyeagoziri Ndubueze, has been slammed into the Abakaliki Correctional Centre. Yes, you read that right—a Bishop is now cooling off in jail, thanks to some very wicked allegations.
The decision came from the Abakaliki Magistrate Court on Tuesday, and the charge is heavy: alleged sexual abuse of a young 22-year-old female member of his own church!
No Bail for the Man of God
The drama inside the court was something else!
Chief Magistrate Nike Chima wasted no time. She outright rejected the bail application filed by the Bishop’s lawyer. According to the Chief Magistrate, the court simply does not have the jurisdiction (the power) to grant bail for a case this serious.
This means Bishop Ndubueze is staying behind bars for now, as the court has ordered the case file to be transferred to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for proper legal advice.
The Full List of Shocking Charges
But wait, the story gets even dirtier!
This case is not just about the alleged assault. Police prosecutors revealed that the Bishop is facing a staggering four-count charge, and the details will make your stomach turn.
The charges include:
- Threats to Life: Allegedly using fear tactics on the young lady.
 - Fraud and Falsehood: Obtaining her cooperation through deceitful and fraudulent means.
 - Circulation of Pornographic Photos: Yes, the Bishop is accused of distributing indecent pictures of the victim!
 
Imagine using the pulpit to claim holiness, only to be hit with charges like these! The prosecution stated that sometime in 2021, at Mile 50 Layout, Abakaliki, the Bishop unlawfully had carnal knowledge of the woman, exploiting her through pure manipulation and threats.
This alleged act is a serious violation of the laws of Ebonyi State, including the Criminal Code and the state's stringent Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law.
The case has been adjourned until November 4, meaning the Bishop has some anxious weeks ahead of him behind the walls of the correctional facility.
This is a painful reminder that even inside the church, wolves can wear sheep's clothing. We need to pray for the victim and follow this case closely!
