Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network (ACVPN), a non-profit organization has vowed to deal with one Bishop who married a minor after defiling her for three years.
The 15-year-old girl identified as Confidence Ukandu, and a 50 -year-old father of four identified as Prince Stephanos Lucky Enofe, but popularly known as Bishop Steph Enofe by his followers.
Bishop Enofe is the founder of the Spirit Of Grace (SOG) Ministry, at 8 Makinde Street, Idi-oro area Mushin Lagos.
LagospyNG gathered that the marriage involving the minor took place at the Mushin area of Lagos State.
The traditional wedding held on 24th and 27th August in the church premises and the girl is living with the bishop as his second wife. Confidence whose parents are members of the church is an ardent more fellow of the cleric.
Bishop Enofe who has been defiling Confidence for three years in his bid to cover the illicit act of sleeping with an underage girl, planned the wedding and made Confidence his second wife after his first wife, and mother of four children packed out of his house and has refused every reconciliatory move for over three years to return to him, sources said.
According to Confidence’s father, Mr. Joseph Ukandu, Bishop Enofe, prior to his illicit marriage to the girl, confessed that he started having sex with the child when she was 13-years-old.
A source who requested anonymity said “The girl has already moved in to start living with Bishop Enofe as his wife since August 28th, 2020, after he performed all traditional wedding rites to officially convert the child to his wife.
Also, preparation has hit top gear for them to tie the nuptial knot at the altar for their church wedding on Saturday 12th September but other sources added that the church wedding held on August 27th 2020″
Mr. Ebenezer Omejalile, Operations Manager, ACVPN said “She is fifteen. When a call was put through to the pastor, his response was, “after all, the family agreed” and besides he asked if its our business.
