A 16 year-old female victim recounted how one Pastor Basil Princewill of Mountain Mover Fire Ministry Church, Nyanya, Abuja, poured oil on her private part and raped her, all in the guise of delivering her from from evil spirits. She told an Abuja High Court Justice, Husseini Baba-Yusuf that the Pastor told her that her father's wife was trying to kill her and that the Lord has instructed him to deliver her. The victim recounts how Pastor Basil, after asking her if she was menstruating to which she responded in the negative, told her to remove her clothes, led her into a bedroom, instructed her to close her eyes, then placed his handkerchief over her head which made her very weak.
The victim said she cried and begged Pastor Basil to stop but he refused. All she could remember was that she fainted  and woke up later to discover that she was bleeding from her private part. The victim said she was raped several times after because according to the Pastor the demons possessing her were stubborn spirits.T

he victim later discovered she was pregnant. Upon telling the Pastor, he took her to Fantana Head Medical Centre, Mararaba, Nasarawa state to have the pregnancy aborted. She recounted how the Pastor beat her and locked her in a room; giving instructions that she should not be allowed to leave until he comes for her. The case was adjourned by the Court.
