A storm of outrage has engulfed the Federal Capital Territory as the Nigerian Police on Wednesday arraigned popular Abuja-based pastor, Amos Isah, before the FCT High Court in Maitama over the alleged sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl inside his church auditorium.
Pastor Amos Isah, the founder of Prophetic Victory Voice of Fire Ministry in Gwagwalada, is facing damning accusations of luring the young girl into the church’s newly built auditorium, locking multiple doors behind them, and violently assaulting her. The incident, described by investigators as both horrifying and premeditated, has sent shockwaves across the country.
Sources told SaharaReporters that the clergyman not only sexually assaulted the minor but also threatened to kill her and her family if she reported the crime. The victim, left bleeding and severely traumatized, eventually mustered the courage to confide in her father, who immediately filed a complaint with the authorities—leading to Pastor Isah’s arrest on June 18, 2025.
What followed, however, was a deeply troubling silence. Despite the completion of investigations by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Pastor Isah remained in detention for weeks without being formally charged. As his remand order neared expiration, suspicions of deliberate delays and potential interference grew louder, prompting public outcry and calls for transparency.
Multiple sources within the victim’s family and the church community alleged that Pastor Isah has a disturbing history of preying on underage girls, often using his status as a spiritual leader to lure them into vulnerable situations. A relative of the victim disclosed:
> “He has been targeting minors for years. This girl is just one of many. We demand justice and urge the authorities not to allow this case to be swept under the rug.”
According to accounts, the pastor would frequently drive around in a tinted vehicle, reportedly using it as a tool to isolate his victims. The recent incident, they claim, fits a long-standing pattern of manipulation and abuse cloaked in false spiritual authority.
The accusations have rocked his congregation and the broader public, particularly given his carefully cultivated image as a charismatic preacher who frequently posts online sermons about morality, righteousness, and divine judgment. His church, located behind Noble Noel Academy in Gwagwalada, has been a major worship center in the community, drawing large followings every week.
Public outrage has been swift and fierce, with human rights organizations and concerned citizens demanding swift justice and an end to systemic delays that often embolden predators under the guise of religion.
As proceedings begin at the FCT High Court 1 in Maitama, all eyes are now on the Nigerian judiciary. For many, this case has become a litmus test for the country’s willingness to protect its most vulnerable citizens and hold even the most revered figures accountable.
