“He said some of the players would get into the national team and represent Nigeria in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. I was the first female he got in contact with and we were talking about recruiting other females. I went to redemption camp for the first time in 2016 to play basketball.
“He showed me the court and even introduced me to an acquaintance as his daughter after the man said we looked alike. All i wanted to do was play basketball and get the opportunity to play in Tokyo 2020 Olympics but on the 2nd or 3rd visit (can’t remember) after about an hour
“at his office before going to the court (he was busy at the time), He said he wanted to see the pictures on my phone, and i gave it to him. Then he showed me a quote i had saved about loving fiercely…. and said I should send it to him which i did via whatsapp at his office before going to the court (he was busy at the time), He said he wanted to see the pictures on my phone, and i gave it to him. Then he showed me a quote i had saved about loving fiercely…. and said I should send it to him which i did via whatsapp.
“He handed my phone back to me & after some time came to where i was standing (i was looking at some things he pasted on his memo board), he sat on the chair & told me to sit on his lap. I said i can’t & then he pulled me to his lap and said i should kiss him, i said I can’t.
“He said he wanted to kiss my pink lips (he had made a remark on my lips through WhatsApp before but i didn’t pay attention to it then, a lot of people talk about it and i take it as a compliment).
“He forced a kiss on me while trying to touch me inappropriately, I was shocked, I kept my lips tightly shut …. this man is old, he’s married, he’s a pastor, different thoughts were running through my mind.
“I told him to stop that I didn’t want to and after trying severally he stopped, stood up and said he’ll drive me to the basketball court which he did then drove off for about 30 minutes saying he wanted to cool off. That was the last time i went to redemption camp.
“I called my friend and told her about it, I was angry and so disappointed. I analysed my every step, I was on low cut, baggy Jersey and trainers, there’s no erotic picture or video on my phone so what could have pushed him to do that? I brushed my lips hard when I got home.
“Level 10:
“I didn’t tell anyone else and decided to let it go because Who was going to believe me a common student as opposed to believing an “anointed” man of God, directorate of sport? It would have been the church against me.
“I just remembered today while i was talking to someone and then it hit me again and i felt like getting it off my chest. I see people attack women asking why they are talking about it after a couple of years but you won’t understand until it has happened to you.
“I’m not angry anymore, I’m at peace with myself knowing that it was not my fault. I’m not responsible for the actions of a grown man.
If you’ve ever been harassed, molested or raped, i hope you’d one day find the courage to talk about it. I hope one day you stop feeling shame and it stops hurting.”
Besides the Top RCCG Pastor in Sexual Harassment Scandal, Beatrice Wealth said she will one day speak about her experience with her lecturer at Yabatech.
According to her,
“I will one day speak on my then supervisor Dr. Odunlade Adekola K. (not the actor ó) in Environmental Biology department of Yabatech who also molested me but not today. For him I will take legal steps when i can afford to cos he doesn’t deserve to be anyone else’s supervisor or lecturer… He was a master manipulator and he’ll be whispering and saying “i hope you’re not recording”. I recorded severally but his voice was too low.
I rest my case.”
