A major storm of accusations has hit the largest indigenous African Sect, Celestial Church of Christ, CCC and its leadership. CCC’s leadership is being accused of doing nothing on account of sexual immorality, financial extortion from unsuspecting members and voodoo rituals.

A Canadian-Jamaican former worshipper at the Parish 1 of the CCC in Ontarioa, Canada, Ms. Margaret Bernard said that her former Shepherd, Prophet Joseph Ojegele capitalized on her “desperate Spiritual needs” to sexually exploit her and extort thousands of dollars from her. Prophet Ojegele who is married in Nigeria and France denies all the allegations.

“The Prophet robbed my vagina with an egg specially flown from Nigeria; he gave me some concoction to drink and made me to pay for rituals that achieved nothing.”

Ms. Bernard who said she has decided to speak out so that other women would not fall prey to similar hoax from Nigerian indigenous churches said that she was tricked into parting with huge sums, said that the leadership of CCC knew quite well that prophet Ojegele had been accused of Pedophilia in Europe and still placed him in charge of a church in Canada.

In an interview with pointblanknews.com, Ms. Bernard said a Nigerian acquaintance whose name she gave as Lucky introduced her to CCC to seek spiritual help from the church in order to win back the affection of her run-away husband. She said her “fierce need to have back her love life in one piece made her to fall for the “tricks” that later led to Prophet Ojegele sexually taking undue advantage of her.

She said that Prophet Ojegele told her that sexual sessions of prayers, which would later be sealed with overnight vigils of sex, would bring back her husband who had deserted her. Although Ms. Bernard would not discuss the personal issues that led to the break with her run-away husband, Pointblanknews.com learnt that her husband packed up the affairs in order to mend fences with his first wife.

Through email exchanges between Prophet Ojegele and Ms. Bernard, the CCC Prophet allegedly hatched the plan for ultimate sexual gratification by first linking Ms. Bernard with some counterparts in Nigeria. She said she eventually went to Nigeria herself in 2005 where she was made to perform some rituals and prayers. Upon her return from Nigeria, she said nothing happened as her husband never returned back and the CCC Prophet decided to go for himself.

Ms. Bernard said in 2006, when Prophet Ojegele returned from Nigeria “he advised me that he brought a special egg that he will used to work on me. Again he asked for more money which I did not give him. He then proceeds to say that I would have to sleep with him three nights in a row for this to work. He advised me to by one meter of white cloth and something else, I cannot remember what.

According to her “We started having sex on the Sunday night which was supposed to end on the Tuesday night, for the three nights I had to spread the white cloth under me to lay on while having sex, after the third night he took away the white cloth with him. The sex did not stop there because he claims that I had to have sex with him until my husband comes back. I was shock however very desperate and would have done anything to have my husband back because I love him and was hurting very much so I agreed and advise to do whatever it takes.”

She added that “After having sex with him for awhile he started to say that God do not want my husband to come back and there is someone else out there that can make me happy. I boldly told him no I do not want anyone else but by husband. Then the next time he told me that he loved me and could make me happy if I would be his woman. Again I told him no because he is married.”

However, after several persuasions from a CCC elder in Colorado, Prophet Ojegele said that he never met any Margaret Bernard and that all the accusations were false and baseless.

“I did not insert any egg into her private part, I did not have sex with her and whatever money she contributed to the church was a matter of free-will. I have no affection for her. The police has the record and those things she is accusing me of are tru I will be in jail now,” Ojegele told Pointblanknews.com.

Prophet Ojegele said that there was a high level conspiracy between Margaret and a faction of the church with which he has fundamental disagreement saying, “they are the ones trying to humiliate me.” He said the plot was long in coming to unseat him from the leadership of the CCC Parish 1 which he built into a formidable flock.
