It was reported that the cleric defiled and impregnated the duo on the pretext of having prayer sessions with them.

Anyanwu was arraigned before the court over an offence he committed on June 3, 2020, at Arowojobe Street in the Oshodi area of the state.

The prosecution team, led by Olusola Soneye, told the court that the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. The prosecution had called five witnesses during the trial – the survivors, their parents and a social worker.NYSC portal

The convict testified as the sole defence witness.

Justice Soladoye, in her judgment on Tuesday, held that the evidence of the prosecution witnesses was believable and consistent.

Also, the judge noted that the police should have charged the victims/survivors’ parents because they were irresponsible in encouraging the survivors to get defiled by the defendant.

“On several occasions, one of the survivors returned to the parents to complain of the defendant’s conduct. She was beaten and sent back to the defendant’s place. The prosecution has proven the ingredients of the offences against the morally bankrupt defendant,” she said.
