Police Arrest ‘Daddy GO: “I Was Handed Over To Him By My Aunt To Deliver Me From Stubbornness–Victim
A wave of shock has hit Anambra State after security operatives arrested a self-acclaimed General Overseer, Favour Ezani, over disturbing allegations involving a 16-year-old girl who was reportedly taken to him for spiritual prayers and deliverance.
The incident, which reportedly happened in Nnewi, has now raised fresh concerns about the activities of some religious leaders and the safety of young people being sent for “spiritual intervention.” This things dey happen around you, Watch What Happened.
According to early reports, the teenager identified as Precious Okafor was taken to the suspect’s residence by a relative who believed she needed spiritual help due to her behaviour. However, things took a dramatic turn after it was discovered that the girl was pregnant, prompting further investigation into what actually happened inside the church leader’s home.
Authorities say the suspect was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Touting Squad after a complaint was lodged by a security source in a neighbouring community. The case has since sparked outrage, especially as questions grow over parental consent and the role of guardians in the decision that led to the girl being taken away.
In a statement linked to the victim, she claimed she was taken for “deliverance from stubbornness” without her mother’s knowledge, adding that her aunt made the arrangement after concerns about her behaviour. The situation has now triggered wider debate about trust, spiritual influence, and the vulnerability of minors in certain religious settings.
As investigations continue, many Nigerians are asking difficult questions: How safe are young girls in the hands of self-acclaimed spiritual leaders? And who should be held responsible when family decisions go wrong?
