A cleric, Paul Morah, who claims to be a Reverend with Anglican church has been arrested by the police for allegedly defiling more than 24 male children between 12 and 16 years at Enyibichiri community in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

Morah, an indigene of Orji in Enugu State but came to Ebonyi for pastoral work was alleged to have used a diabolical handkerchief to lure some of the children, especially those who tried to resist him.


The Coordinator of Ikwo East Development Centre, Hon. Chinedu Ogbuoji, where the incident occurred, confirmed the incident and described it as pathetic.

“The incident is a pathetic one because these days some people hide themselves under the umbrella of religion to perpetrate evil.

“He told us that his name is Paul Morah from Enugu State. He claimed to be a pastor.

“People from my area reported the incident to me and I intervened with the support of the town union leader and the youth.

“We went there; he was apprehended and handed over to the police. We want to assure you of more investigation.

“Some of the children claimed they are members of the church. Nobody knew what he used to lure the children. But we heard that at times, he uses diabolical handkerchief to lure them.”

The President of the community’s town union, Hon. Nwoba Sylvanus, also added

“One of them (the children) is in primary six, two are in JSS II and the other one is in JSS III. But from the investigation of the divisional police officer at Noyo junction, the children are up to 24 now.

“According to one of the children, the man used to send them on an errand and when they come back, he will ask them to enter his house.

In the house, he will ask them to remove their clothes. If they resist, he will remove their clothes and defile them.

“He told us that he is a pastor in Anglican Church but when one of the pastors of Anglican Church was contacted, he said they have suspended him for over three months.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP George Okafor, yesterday confirmed the report, saying

“We are aware of the matter.
