Police in Lilongwe yesterday arrested a 30-year-old pastor identified as Juma Njera for allegedly touching and inserting his fingers into the private parts of two women in the name of cleansing them from evil spirits at Maye in Nathenje.
According to Lilongwe Police Spokesperson Hastings Chigaru the suspect who is of Come to Jesus Ministries on Saturday invited the victims who are aged 24, and 17 years respectively, to his house for special prayers after he earlier prophesied to them that they were possessed with demons that need deliverance.
The pastor first gave the sisters holy water to wash their faces for the demons to go out of them and later told the victims that the anointing water was failing to effectively work because the girls’ evil spirits entered them through their private parts, so there was need for special deliverance by physically touching the affected parts.
Chigalu said Njera then ordered the victims to remove their clothes and started inserting his fingers the girls private parts, one by one claiming that it was the only way the demons would be defeated.
