An Ogbesun Chief Magistrates’ Court in Benin on Wednesday ordered the remand a 41-year-old Prophet, Benjamin Bernard, in prison custody for alleged defilement of his seven-year-old daughter.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Taiye Omoruyi, refused to admit the cleric to bail. The Prosecutor, Kenneth Ugiagbe, said the pastor committed the incest against his third daughter on Jan. 26.
Bernard pleaded not guilty to the one-count charge of defilement. The minor, led in evidence by Ugiagbe, told the court that after defiling her, Bernard used a white handkerchief to clean her private part.
She said her father warned her not to mention it to anyone else, threatened to kill her if she disclosed it to anybody.
The court adjourned the matter till March16 for further hearing.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Let me correct an impression,, these so called pastors are not y pastors,they are simply people that go to church out of frustration, to see if their miserable lives can improve, they are not called,they just look for means to swindle ppl..so we all know that there are real and genuine pastors out there,that are really doing d work of GOD in truth n in spirit..so people shud not be discouraged when they hear news like this..after all, Christ warned us abt a day like this.. #remainstronginchrist.
