The FCT High Court in Gwarinpa, Abuja, has fixed 14 May for the re-arraignment of an Abuja pastor, Amos Isah, accused of raping a minor.
Mr Isah, who is the founder and General Overseer of Prophetic Voice of Fire Ministry International, Gwagwalada, Abuja, was arrested on 18 June 2025, for allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl, who happened to be a member of the media unit of his church.
The pastor was said to have invited the minor to his office on the 26 of May 2025, where she was allegedly raped.
The victim said she started experiencing abdominal pain and bleeding a few weeks after the alleged ordeal.
However, for mine months after he was charged on four counts of rape, indecency and violence, the case stalled in court.
On 11 March, the case was reassigned from the FCT High Court in Maitama to new trial judge, Modupe Osho-Adebiyi in the Gwarinpa division of the court, following an application from the prosecution lawyer, Aderonke Emana.
On Tuesday, the matter came up before Ms Osho-Adebiyi. However, the defendant did not appear in court.
The judge fixed 14 May for the re-arraignment.
