NGO Battles Pastor, Accuses Him Of Impregnating Mentally Unstable

… Devil Wants To Tarnish My Image, Pastor Cries Out
Godsent Foundation, a non-profit and non-governmental organisation, has accused Founder of Christian Chapel International Gospel Centre, (name withheld) of impregnating one mentally unstable Miss Blessing who has given birth to a child.
President of the Foundation, Ambassador Dion Osagie, while addressing newsmen on the incident in Benin, said he was confident that the pastor has a link to the child given birth by Blessing, going by the way she (Blessing) repeatedly mentioned his name.
According to him, he came across Miss Blessing where she was selling sachet water on the street and decided to pick her up for rehabilitation, adding that since then she has been repeatedly mentioning the pastor had carnal knowledge of her.
He said the anger the pastor exhibited when he (Osagie) and his crew went to Blessing’s family house that is very close to the said church was suspicious, adding that he may have link to the child.
Osagie added that Godsent Foundation was poised in investigating the issue and making sure that the truth is unraveled, just as he said the Foundation would go an extra mile of carrying out a DNA test.
” We have a video of where the mentally unstable girl mentioned his name. The mentally unstable girl has a baby and she has been consistently mentioning the pastor’s name. So, we want to carry out a DNA test on the baby and the pastor to be sure he is not father of the baby. But if he is responsible, he is going to pay us all the expenses we have incurred.

” Since the case is under investigation, the proper thing is to lockup the church for now. We need to find out if the church is registered with CAC, and if it is not registered, he has no business operating,” he said.
Responding to INFO DAILY questions in an interview on the allegation, the pastor said he can never, as a man of God, do such a thing, stressing that it’s devil’s cunny way of tarnishing his image and that of other men of God.
According to him, Blessing is someone he converted alongside her sister and mother in the year 2003 when he was still youth president at the Church of God Mission, Benin.

He added that since then she (Blessing) has been in contact with him and does come to his church for some special programmes, stressing that she is not a member of his church.
He said, ” Blessing is my convert in year 2003. Then I was not a pastor but youth president at the Church of God Mission. We used to do door-to-door evangelism, and that was when we went to their house to preach to Blessings and her sister and they both joined the church alongside their mother.
” If you watch the video, she said one pastor Elijah impregnated her and not even me.
” The fact is, she is unstable mentally. The only way to get the real story is when she is mentally stable.
” On this very matter, I believe Satan has a way of tarnishing the image of God’s people. This is the handiwork of the devil. I am a focus man that aimed at bringing people out of darkness to light.”

On threat by the Foundation that they were going to carry out DNA test, the pastor said he was ready to submit himself for the test, saying ” If they want to carry out a DNA test, I will be glad and ready to submit myself for that.”
The victim, Blessing, speaking to INFO DAILY from where she is under rehabilitation and regaining her senses, denied the allegation that the Pastor slept with her or impregnated her.
She said all what she was saying earlier, was not herself but a spirit was speaking to her to utter some words and consequently speaks through her.
She said, ” He did not sleep with me but just that I was not all right and most often I used to hear a voice speaking to me to say things, and this voice started when I started working with one Alhaji in Lagos State where I defrauded him of N250,000. After the act, I have been hearing the voice. I offend people without reason.
” I don’t really know who is responsible for my child but one thing is that I slept with different men. When I went to Auchi Poly where I eventually withdrew because of my health status, I met with one Collins and we were dating and sleeping with each other.

Edo NLC Crisis: Caretaker Committee Drags Rival Exco, Govt To Court
The division in the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), took a new dimension on Wednesday as Prof. Monday Monday Lewis Igbafen-led caretaker committee approached the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Benin Judicial Division, seeking to affirm its authority and restrain a rival executive from parading itself as the council’s leadership.
Joined in the suit are the Edo State Government, the Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, and the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.
In a suit marked: NICN/BEN/12/2026, and filed before the court in Benin, the claimant, Igbafen, acting for himself and on behalf of the NLC Caretaker Committee in Edo State, is challenging the continued occupation of the union’s secretariat and control of its assets by members of the Bernard Egwakhide-led factional State Executive Council.

The claimants are asking the court to declare that the caretaker committee (Igbafen-led faction), constituted on August 11, 2025, by the NLC national leadership, remains the only lawful authority to administer the affairs of the Edo State Council pending fresh elections.
They further seek a declaration that the continued occupation of the NLC secretariat located at No. 1 Teboga Road, Benin City, as well as the retention of union assets, financial records, and official instruments by the defendants, is illegal and void.
The suit also prays for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from parading themselves as officials of the NLC Edo Council or interfering with the functions of the caretaker committee.
In addition, the claimants are seeking a mandatory order compelling the defendants to immediately hand over the secretariat, vehicles, financial documents, cheque books, and all other properties belonging to the union.

The caretaker committee further urged the court to restrain the state government and its officials from interfering in the internal affairs of the union, alleging undue support for the dissolved executive.
The claimants further demand N50 million as general and exemplary damages against the defendants for alleged unlawful usurpation of office and acts prejudicial to the administration of the council.
According to court documents made available to our correspondent, the crisis followed the dissolution of the Edo State Council by the NLC National Executive Council on February 27, 2025, over allegations of misconduct, anti-union activities, and constitutional violations.
However, the matter has yet to be assigned a hearing date.

“We categorically state that the continued targeting of Nigerians under any guise is unacceptable and must come to an immediate end.
