The General Overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy
Trinity, Timothy, who runs his church in Enugu state, is currently on fire
after he was allegedly accused of putting his wife’s niece and other female
members in the family way and accused of trafficking members of his church. The
church located at Umudikwere, Iheowere Nsukka area of the state, had known no
peace as his wife, Veronica, asked the Anti-Child Trafficking Unit of the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the State Police Command to
investigate her husband’s activities.
According to release made by Ebere Amaraizu, spokesperson
for Enugu State Police Command, Veronica had reported to law enforcement agents
about her husband’s activities, which she claimed ranges from impregnating many
female members of the church, including their daughters.
The woman reportedly
informed law enforcement agents that her husband often carries out these
activities she described as heinous acts, on the pretext that he was carrying
out the directive of the Holy Spirit.
The disturbed wife, it was said, also informed the security
officers that Timothy started the practice by putting her own niece, who had
come to assist her after she was delivered of a baby, in the family way. She
claimed that when she confronted her husband on the illicit affair, he told her
that he was executing a directive of the Holy Spirit.
According to her, the clergy continued in the affair even
after she advised against it until her niece was put in the family way. “It is not
only my niece that he has put in the family way. He has impregnated many church
members,” Veronica said.
“When we newly married, he was God-fearing, but soon after
we started our ministry, he became a different person. After he impregnated my niece,
who came to stay with us and claimed it was a directive from God, he went ahead
to impregnate several female members of the church including some of their
daughters,” Veronica said.
Two of Timothy’s victims actually corroborated Veronica’s
allegations against her husband, saying that they have since moved into
Timothy’s vast compound. One, who gave her name as Callista Omeje, reportedly confessed
to having left her husband and moved into Pastor Timothy’s house.
Callista, a mother of 10 kids from her first marriage, was
reported to have confirmed that she moved into Timothy’s house as his mistress,
because the man informed her that it was God’s directive for her to do so.
She also confirmed to
law enforcement agents that she had a stillbirth for Timothy. Callista also alleged
that she allowed her own daughter to be put in the family way by the clergy on
similar prophecies, in obedience to Timothy’s revelations.
Also speaking, another victim, Assumpta Odo, a mother of
eight children, reportedly confirmed that she was Timothy’s lover and wife. According
to Enugu police, Assumpta also revealed that one of her daughters was also
carrying Timothy’s baby. The police said she claimed she allowed Pastor Timothy
into her life in order to carry out God’s instructions.
However, Timothy claimed he had five wives and 13 children and
some other mistresses courtesy of the prophetic direction to do the will of
God.
The state police spokesperson claimed that Timothy confirmed
that Veronica used to be his wife, but that they had been separated, saying:
“She is a fallen wife looking for what to hang upon.”
He reportedly claimed that he never had any amorous affair
with any woman without the consent of their husbands and without hearing from the
Holy Spirit, describing his acts as purely spiritual.
Amaraizu said that the police are still investigating the matter and expressed hope that in no distant time, investigations would be over as, according to him, Timothy was helping the police operatives in understanding the activities of his ministry and his relationship with members.
