A Mwanza based pastor, Benson Kaphetsa, 25, of Gathering of Adventist Ministries has been arrested in the district on allegations that he defiled and impregnated a 14-year-old girl.
Mwanza Police publicist, Edwin Kaunda said a mother to the girl reported the matter to police after her daughter revealed that the pastor had been defiling her since May of 2022.
“We took the girl to the hospital where results confirmed that she is pregnant, and attempts to arrest the pastor failed, as he was on the run since October last year. We have since apprehended him on Tuesday after he resurfaced in the district,” said Kaunda.
