A respected religious leader in Abuja, widely known for his fiery sermons and emphasis on moral discipline, is currently facing serious allegations of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.
The clergyman, identified as Pastor Isah, was arrested by operatives of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) after the disturbing claims surfaced.
Despite his public image as a bold preacher who often calls on followers to “shine as light in a dark world,” authorities say he is now being accused of abusing his spiritual influence to exploit a vulnerable minor.
According to sources within the FCID, the matter is being handled with considerable discretion due to the suspect’s high standing in the religious community.
Efforts to reach the pastor for comment were unsuccessful, as calls to his mobile phone went unanswered.
There are growing concerns that some police officers may be working behind the scenes to protect Pastor Isah by suppressing details of the case and shielding his identity from the public.
This has raised fears of a potential attempt to derail justice, especially considering the seriousness of the accusation and the age of the alleged victim.
As investigations continue away from public view, calls for accountability and transparency are mounting, with many insisting that justice must be served regardless of the suspect’s position or title.
