Pastor Matthew Olakunle of the Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Itura in Iju town, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, has said that he prays for women naked because God answers prayers faster without the clothes on.
He said this while admitting to the allegation of praying for the women in the church naked.
A 32-year-old woman, Omotola Akerele had accused the pastor while featuring in a programme on Adaba FM Akure, the Ondo State, of sleeping with her and getting her pregnant during a spiritual cleansing.
She said it was her mother, a member of the church, that introduced her to the pastor when she was battling with a severe cough.
Omotola, who hails from the town narrated that as a result of the sex she had with the pastor, she got pregnant and later aborted the pregnancy without the consent of her husband.
She told the radio station, “I had a severe cough and my mother took me to Pastor Olakunle Mathew for prayer in Iju. After praying for me he said I needed a shaving stick and a handkerchief to perform the spiritual exercise which I took to him.
“The pastor told me that if he wanted to use my hair to perform some spiritual work that would solve my spiritual problem. On the night of that first day we got there, he asked me to put off my clothes in the presence of my mother to pray for me in the mission house.
“Since that day, he has been asking me to come for deliverance and when I got there he would ask me to remove my clothes and lie on the bed. He would lie on me naked and be praying for me.
“On the seventh day, he shaved the hair of my private part and my armpit hair and put the hair in the white handkerchief. After that, we had sexual intercourse and after the intercourse, he asked me to go and bury the hair in the handkerchief.”
Omotola added that she aborted the pregnancy but her husband later got to know about it and sent her out of the house.
However, the pastor explained that Omotola’s case was a spiritual attack and she agreed to undergo the spiritual exercise performed on her in the church.
Olakunle, who said he had been transferred by the C.A.C to another church in Ilorin, Kwara State, however, denied having sexual intercourse with Omotola.
He also denied impregnating her but he confessed to having had sexual relationship with Omotola’s younger sister twice and had prayed for their mother too while being naked.
He said, “On the third day of the spiritual programme, I shaved the hair on her private part and I touched it (her private part) with my penis and I told her to be using my penis to rob the entrance of her private part so that she would discharge.
“After that, I wiped the discharge of her private part with the white handkerchief and I prayed for her using psalm 24.
“After the exercise, I asked her to go and bury the handkerchief in the bush. I asked her to call her husband to do it for her but she refused, that was why I did it for her but I didn’t have sex with her.” (Daily Post)
I would like to know if this so-called pastor also had sexual relationship with the mother of this naive woman that was raped by this fake pastor.
I usually find it very difficult to comment on matters like this, however, I am lending my voice to that of the earlier commentators. The truth is that many Christians hide under prayer to neglect their responsibilities. A so called Pastor want to pray for you and ask you to go naked and you did not see anything wrong with that. Then something is wrong with you. Do you need to be told as a grown up woman that a woman should not go naked in the presence others talk less of a married woman going naked before another man, alone in a room?
While God will judge all those using His name to cheat others, we should also be very careful.
This is exactly what the country has degenerated to…someone has a cough and instead of going to the doctors for treatment or to the nearest pharmacy for cough medicine, she goes to the local pastor for prayer.
Sometimes it appears that majority of our fellow Nigerians loose their minds on somethings that are so simple to solve.
What a country!
