A
popular pastor has been exposed and dragged to court for allegedly
r*ping a church member he had feelings for, at his home repeatedly.
Pastor Oliver Makomo allegedly confessed to the girl's boyfriend of the crime
A randy pastor has been granted bail after he was arraigned in
court for allegedly r*ping a congregation member he was attracted to at
his home.
The pastor identified as Oliver Makomo of AFM Springvale sect in
Ruwa of Zimbabwe appeared before Magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro
over the charges. He was granted a $100 bail. He is expected to be back
in court on November 30.
According to H-metro,
the State alleges that sometime in 2012, Pastor Makomo visited a woman
at Ruwa TM Supermarket where she was working. At the market, the pastor
had allegedly requested for the woman’s phone number and was given
before they started communicating until 2013 when he allegedly asked her
whether she was still virgin.
In 2013, the woman called Pastor Makomo with intention to ‘book’
for an appointment since she was having a nose bleeding problem. Pastor
Makomo is said to have invited the congregant to his church office
located at No.2 Gallowway Estate in Ruwa where he prayed for her.
Accusations are that Pastor Makomo quickly went to lock the door
soon after praying for the woman whilst she was still in his
office. Further allegations are that the man of cloth went on to hug,
kiss and insert his fingers into his female congregant’s privates.
The 49-year-old clergyman is alleged to have repeatedly told the
woman that ‘all was going to be fine’ before she left his office.
Prosecutor Mutizirwa alleges that the woman did not disclose the sexual
attack to anyone considering the trust she had in him and the
relationship that existed between him and her parents.
Sometime in 2013, Pastor Makomo is said to have invited the female
congregant to his house where she found him with his maid, some visitors
and his wife.
Reports are that the woman slept at Pastor Makomo’s house after he
told her that she was not supposed to visit his house again in the event
that she left before his return.
This was after he had seen off his visitors.
The report further revealed that the Pastor Makomo sneaked into the
spare-bedroom where the woman was sleeping, spat an unknown liquid
substance into her mouth. Pastor Makomo allegedly forcibly removed the
woman’s undergarment and raped her.
The woman did not reveal the sexual abuse to anyone and left her pastor’s house at around 11am.
Prosecutor Mutizirwa also alleges that Pastor Makomo r*ped the
22-year-old sometime in 2014 on the day his wife had gone to South
Africa. On the day in question, the woman went to her pastor’s house
after she was invited by his maid only identified as Linda whom she had
befriended.
It was on the night of the same day that pastor Makomo followed the
woman into the spare bedroom where he had allegedly raped her on the
first day she put up at his house.
Accusations are that Pastor Makomo found the woman standing when he
entered into the room. He is alleged to have forced the woman to
undress before r*ping her.
The court heard that the woman did not reveal the sexual abuse
since she believed that she was ‘under the control’ of her pastor.
On December 23 2014, Pastor Makomo is alleged to have called his
female congregant and invited her to his house on the pretext that he
wanted her to meet someone who wanted to deliver some meat.
The woman is said to have complied and went to Pastor Makomo’s house.
Reports are that the woman waited for about 15 minutes before
pastor Makomo arrived and handed her some keys for her to unlock the
doors at his house.
The State alleges that Pastor Makomo instructed the woman to enter into a spare bedroom where he followed her.
Accusations are that Pastor Makomo kissed and r*ped the woman before ordering her to leave his house.
The woman reportedly revealed the sexual attack to her boyfriend on August 22 last year.
Her boyfriend is said to have visited Pastor Makomo at his church
offices where he expressed his disappointment over the sexual abuse.
Pastor Makomo reportedly told the woman’s boyfriend that it was the work
of the devil and asked for forgiveness.
The woman’s boyfriend is said to have gone to tell his lover what the pastor had said.
