Pastor inserts a bottle of anointing oil into woman's private part
BARELY TWO weeks after being freed from cells
after allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl, Pastor
Richard Addo, a self-styled man of God has been
re-arrested by the police for purportedly raping
another lady- a 22-year old.

This was the third time the self-styled man of God
had been arrested by the police for alleged sexual
crimes against his female victims.

Earlier, he had been nabbed by the Adenta District
Police Command for allegedly inserting his fingers
into the private parts of five women under the
pretext of praying for them in February this
year.

The self-styled man of God was arrested after one
of the women boldly reported the incident to the
police. He was also said to have charged the women
various amounts of money ranging from GH¢150 to
GH¢200.

Pastor Addo, according to the latest victim who
resides at Kasoa in the Central Region, inserted a
bottle of anointing oil into her vagina, after
which he went on to rape her.

Confirming the story to Daily Guide, the Commander
in charge of the Kpeshie Domestic Violence and
Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police
Service, DSP Margaret S. Agbemabiese, said the
victim resides at Kasoa while the suspect lives at
Nungua.

On the morning of June 14, 2011, the victim
received a phone call from the suspect who
identified himself as a pastor. Pastor Addo then
told the victim that God had revealed an issue
concerning her to him. Pastor Addo then asked the
victim to see him as soon as possible and that the
issue was serious.

He urged her to bring along a bottle of olive oil
for purification as well. When the victim got to
the Nungua lorry station, the suspect met her on
the way and consequently took her to his house.

After a short conversation between them, the
suspect told the young woman that there was an
evil spirit pursuing her and that he would try to
exorcise it. He then asked her to remove all her
clothes while he smeared the oil on her body as
part of the purification process.

Initially, the victim said she became suspicious
and declined to undress, but Addo allegedly
forcibly grabbed her and removed her dress.

The suspect then pushed her onto his mattress and
smeared the olive oil on her stomach. The next
thing the victim realized was that Pastor Addo had
taken the whole bottle of anointing oil and pushed
it into her vagina, claiming that he was purifying
her womb as well.

Not satisfied, Addo then removed the bottle of oil
from the victim’s vagina and this time inserted
his penis in a forcible sexual encounter. After
satisfying himself sexually, Addo left the
traumatized lady to her fate and walked out of the
room.

The victim called a witness to narrate the
incident and subsequently reported the matter to
the police. A medical report was issued but the
police could not apprehend the suspect until
September 30, 2011 when Richard Addo was arrested
for having committed a similar offence with regard
to another lady.

The suspected rapist had since been remanded into
police custody by an Accra circuit court awaiting
trial.
