A leader at the Confidence Charismatic Church in Kumasi, Reverend Isaac Osei is in police custody for allegedly raping two sisters.
A source at the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DVVSU) of the Ashanti Regional Police Command said that after his arrest, Pastor Osei a.k.a Kumbaya denied the allegation by the younger of the two sisters aged 19, but claimed in his caution statement that the elder sister, aged 21 was his girlfriend and that she consented to have sex with him.
The police source said the police were waiting for separate medical reports on the two sisters to provide details on the alleged rape, possible pregnancy and their HIV status.
According to the police, the eldest sister alleged that there was a revival by another church at Atonsu in Kumasi last month at which Pastor Osei appeared as a guest preacher.
The two sisters attended the revival where Pastor Osei was said to have prayed for them against any attacks by the devil.
The eldest sister was then asked by the pastor to call him during the free night calls period so that "they can talk for a longer time".
The source said when the lady failed to make the call on the appointed day, Pastor Osei invited the two sisters the following day to his residence but again, the sisters failed to honour the invitation.
However, on the morning of August 26, 2007, the younger sister visited the pastor and returned very late in the evening.
The following day the elder sister called the pastor on his mobile phone and he asked her to visit him in his house at Aprade in Kumasi.
When she went, according to the police, the pastor asked her to cook for him and after preparing the food they ate together after which the man asked the woman to retire to his room to relax before going home.
After an initial reluctance, she later agreed and while there the Pastor followed up where he forcibly had sex with her.
The source said when the lady returned home she broke the story to her younger sister who also revealed that the pastor did a similar thing to her the previous day.
They then informed their parents and a report was made to the police.
The pastor is to appear before a Kumasi Court today to face a preliminary charge of rape.
