Pastor Emmanuel Alex in charge of a new generation church in Egan, on
the outskirts of Lagos, has been arrested by the police for allegedly
impregnating his 15-year old daughter two times.
His daughter
delivered the two babies within two years. This happened after the
girl’s mother died.
They were all living in the same apartment at
33, Pastor Olusola Street, Agric, Egan, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.
Greenwich news gathered from the residents that the pastor’s nine children were not
allowed to go to school or socialise with their neighbours and when he
wanted to go out, he locked them inside his two-bedroom flat.
His
arrest followed a sting operation by two non governmental organizations
in collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and
Poverty Alleviation, WAPA, Alausa, Ikeja.
Greenwich news gathered that the pastor’s wife died during labour in 2010 after giving
birth to nine children.
While in labour to deliver the 10th
child, the pastor had no money to take her to hospital and he asked her
to deliver in their house and in the process, she died.
Sources
told Greenwich news that she died, Alex started sleeping with his
first daughter and it resulted in pregnancy. She delivered the baby in
2011.
While nursing the baby, the pastor impregnated her again and
she delivered the second baby recently.
The scandal was exposed
during a burial Alex was to be the officiating pastor. Some of the
residents opposed him and told those at the burial that he had
impregnated his own daughter two times.
He was subsequently
arrested by the police at Igando division. When Greenwich news
visited the station, police sources confirmed the incident and told our
reporter that he has been charged to Ikeja High court where he was
remanded in prison custody.
Meanwhile, the Welfare Department of
WAPA has taken custody of all his children.
His flat was locked
when Greenwich news visited his residence
