A 50-year-old traditional healer and Pastor of the
Brotherhood Church, Udo Obot Job is now cooling his heels
in the cell of Akwa Ibom State police command for allegedly
defiling a 14-year-old girl, Mary Bassey.

The incident, Saturday Sun learnt, led to the death of the
victim’s father who was ill and receiving treatment at Job’s
healing home when the alleged rape happened at Ukat Aran
village in Nsit Ubium Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom
State.

It was gathered that Mrs Eno Bassey had on February 13
taken her husband, Mr. Stephen Bassey to Job’s healing
home for possible recovery from stroke. The state Police
Commissioner, Mr Gabriel Achong, who confirmed the
development, said that the suspect had demanded N400,000
for the treatment of Bassey.

He said that the family of the victim’s wife was able to raise
N350,000 for the treatment while on February 14, the
suspect allegedly told Mrs Bassey to go to the market to buy
some food items for her husband.
It was learnt that while she went on the errand, her
daughter, a14-year-old Mary Bassey was drugged and
thereafter deflowered.

“Immediately Mr Bassey heard what Job did to his daughter,
he collapsed and died,” Achong told Saturday Sun.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, State CID Uyo, Mr.

Mike Okoli added that the suspect has been arrested and the
victim, Mary Bassey taken to Akpa Utong College Hospital
where Dr Ubong Okon confirmed that she was defiled.
Speaking with Saturday Sun, the victim, Mary said:

“The incident happened on February 14, when the suspect
told my mother that she should go to the market to buy some
food items for my late father. Pastor Job told me to pick some
sand from the ground which he said he would use to send
away some ghosts fighting my father.

“I did it by picking some sand from the ground and
immediately, Pastor Job gave me some drugs to use. He told
me that he wanted my future to be bright. After that, I found
myself on the floor, he took me to her room and had sex
with me and after I regained my consciousness, I started
shouting. I saw blood and he said I should go to the stream
to bathe. I then called my brother, Essien and we went and
reported the matter at the police station at Nsit Ubium.”
In his confession, Pastor Job told Saturday Sun:

“I am a pastor and I head the Brotherhood church at Ukat
Aran village. I have been into the ministry for 12 years now
and I am a known traditional healer. It was on February 13,
2015 that Eno Bassey brought her husband, Stephen Bassey
who was suffering from stroke and I promised to heal him. I
instructed Eno to go and buy food items in the market.

“I drugged her daughter and took her into the room and
defiled her. It was the devil that pushed me into it. Mr
Bassey died in my church when he heard of the incident”, he
said
CP Achong assured that Pastor Job will soon be charge to
court.
