A 56-year-old Nigerian pastor based in the United States (US), was reported to have bagged 15 years jail term after he was caught abusing two teenage girls in church. The clergy man who was identified as Reuben Chizor is the founder of Hope Restoration Ministries and was said to have been carrying out this devious act in his church’s basement. Chizor was said to have abused two young girls age 12 and 14-years-old but their names were not disclosed.
New York Daily News revealed that Chizor who faced trial few weeks back on July 27, 2011 took the 14-year-old girl to the church’s basement where he defiled her and on August 22, 2011 he did the same thing to the 12-year-old girl.
Realest Vibe further reported that, the secret was let out of the bag in July 2015 after the two teenage girls confronted each other and reported the case to the police.
Speaking on this incident, the Queens District Attorney, Richard Brown said:
“The defendant took advantage of his position as a man of the cloth and the trust placed in him by his followers to satisfy his depraved desires. Through manipulation and conniving control, he abused his two young victims for nearly two years. What the defendant forced his victims to endure was horrendous and as punishment he now will be spending a lengthy term behind bars.”
