Court remands Kogi pastor in Kabba correctional facility

A Magistrate Court 2 sitting in Lokoja has remanded the Pastor of New Jerusalem Deliverance Ministry, Adeiza Peter, in Kabba correctional facility.

The pastor of the church, located in Ageva, Okene Local Government Area of the state, was accused of unwholesome practices which border around medical quackery and captivity of members.

The presiding Magistrate, A.A. Umar, remanded Adeiza Peter until 20th October 2022.

Adeiza Peter was remanded for causing culpable homicide, miscarriages, and carrying out illegal maternity under the disguise of the church.

It could be recalled that based on available information, the Kogi State Government swooped on the New Jerusalem Deliverance Ministry, where mentally-unstable persons were placed under chains were moved out of the prayer house along with others, mainly young women who claimed they came for prayer and had spent months in the ‘church.’
