Detained Abuja Pastor, Amos Isah's Allies Allegedly Offered 14-Year-Old R*pe Victim's Father N2Million To Drop Case
Hi Dear, thanks for visiting! Like our FB Page or Follow Us Twitter for Regular News Updates!
New details have emerged in the high-profile r*pe case involving detained Pastor Amos Isah, founder of the Prophetic Victory Voice of Fire Ministry in Gwagwalada, Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to SaharaReporters, some reports now allege that close associates of the embattled cleric have made desperate attempts to bribe the victim’s father in a bid to persuade him to drop the charges.
Multiple sources close to the investigation told SaharaReporters that
the victim's father was approached by a man claiming to be the "Bishop
of Abuja," who allegedly offered him N2 million during a WhatsApp call
to "settle the matter" before the case reached court.
The father, whose 14-year-old daughter was allegedly r*ped by Isah
inside the church auditorium, flatly rejected the offer, insisting on
justice.
The self-styled bishop reportedly arranged meetings with the father,
including one at the Artlas Hotel in Gwagwalada, under the guise of
seeking "peace."
"He said he was just helping, that he wanted peace,” a family member disclosed. “But
his real mission was to pressure the father to drop the case. They even
threatened subtly, implying the family could face consequences if they
refused."
Despite being detained since June 18, 2025, Isah has continued to
orchestrate these efforts from his police cell, using WhatsApp and
Facebook to communicate with accomplices.
Background
As previously reported by SaharaReporters, Pastor Isah has been using
social media platforms - particularly WhatsApp and Facebook - from his
detention cell to communicate with church members, issue directives, and
allegedly plot ways to evade justice.
Isah was arrested in June over allegations of r*ping a 14-year-old girl
inside his church auditorium. He was arraigned nearly a month later, on
July 16, before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in
Maitama, Abuja.
Despite being in custody, SaharaReporters' investigations reveal that
the pastor continues to enjoy access to mobile devices, in clear
violation of standard detention protocols.
When checked on Friday afternoon, Isah's WhatsApp account showed he was
"online," confirming he was actively messaging church members. Further
checks confirmed that he had also been online the previous day.
"He was online again today. He even used Facebook from the cell yesterday," a police source told SaharaReporters. "He still chats with members and gives them instructions. Can you imagine that?"
"He still uses his phone freely and communicates with his congregation as though he's not in custody," the source added.
According to multiple sources, Pastor Isah is allegedly being shielded
by some officers within the police, including a Deputy Superintendent of
Police (DSP).
The DSP is said to be working closely with a woman identified as Hajiya
Mariam, who allegedly boasted that arrangements were being made to move
Isah out of the detention facility to a more comfortable, undisclosed
location while they finalise his release on bail.
SaharaReporters also learned that some members of Isah's church had been
boasting that their pastor remained a free man despite the charges
against him and that they were still in regular contact with him via
social media.
Some have also claimed that Isah is innocent.
For example, one of his church members, Isaiah Gbangbala, posted a video on Facebook on Thursday, July 17, in which he said: "I'm
gonna drop a video about our daddy, Apostle Amos Isah - a lot of things
he said by himself, which means this man of God knows that there are
evil people around him. God had shown him already, and he said
everything around criticism."
Okili Miko, who uses the cleric's photo as his Facebook profile picture, wrote in a post:
"Apostle Amos Isah won't do such things; that's pure lies from the pit
of hell. Evil people must always find a way to bring down a pastor, but
they will fail. He will come out strong."
Similarly, Amade Adama wrote on Facebook: "Dear brother Apostle Amos
Isah, if God wants to announce you, this is how it will start. They did
this to almost all men of God in Nigeria. Do not worry about the
devices of the devil; this too shall pass. We were born and brought up
in the same village; I've never heard anyone accuse you of r*pe. You are
such a calm and disciplined fellow. Keep praying, as this too shall
pass."
The victim's family and activists fear that the police may have been
compromised and that behind-the-scenes dealings could jeopardise the
integrity of the case.
"Let us keep praying so they don't meet bail conditions. The law must take its course," a relative said.
Isah faces charges under Section 218 of Nigeria's Criminal Code for
defiling a minor, punishable by 14 years to life imprisonment. The
victim's family recently recounted how he lured their daughter into the
church auditorium, locked the doors, r*ped her, and gave her ₦3,000 for
"medication" while threatening her life.
Disturbingly, SaharaReporters learned that Isah has a history of
targeting underage girls, often transporting them in his tinted-window
car under the guise of spiritual mentorship.
"This girl is just one of many. He has been preying on minors for years," a relative disclosed.
The case, adjourned to September 30, has drawn national outrage, with
the FCTA Women Affairs Secretariat vowing to pursue justice. Mandate
Secretary Dr. Adebayo Benjamins-Laniyi warned against cyberbullying the
survivor and affirmed zero tolerance for gender-based violence.
