Susan Edeh, a Nigerian woman living in Vienna, Austria, has accused Jesse, a pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, of brutalizing her for asking him to repay a loan she gave him to pay church rent.
As seen by InsightnaijaTV, the lady stated that Jesse had approached her to help him pay his church rent in order to escape eviction.
Susan, who is also a member of Apostle Johnson Suleman’s church, claimed she agreed to help and obtained a loan from her bank for the purpose.
The pastor had pledged to repay the loan after the church’s next service, but had failed to do so after five years, according to the lady.
She claims that every time she approached Jesse for money, the pastor would verbally abuse her and inflict bodily assault on her.
Susan claimed that she returned to the church on Sunday to inquire about the loan because the bank was already harassing her, but that the Omega Fire Ministry pastor attacked her with a metal microphone and ordered church members to beat her up.
Following the assault, the pastor and other members prevented Susan’s daughter and husband from alerting the police by taking their phones, InsightnaijaTV reports.
A victim’s relative petitioned Apostle Suleman to ensure that justice was done in the case.
“She has lost a lot of blood in ITU due to the harm done to her.
“We want the General Overseer (Apostle Suleman) to investigate this abuse and attempted murder with the intention to cover the debt, while police should prosecute Pastor Jesse and everyone involved,” he said.
