A worker with Inner City Mission for Children (ICM4C), under the Christ
Embassy Church canopy, Mrs. Brenda Nwanguma,is threatening to drag the
head pastor Pastor Kenechukwu Kanu aka Kaycee to court.
New
Telegraph reports that Nwanguma is demanding justice in respect of
alleged work place harassment, intimidation, blackmail and libel.
Nwanguma’s lawyer, Samuel Akpologun, has already petitioned the church.
She
is threatening to take the church and Pastor Kaycee to court if
nothing was done to address and back. Earlier this year, Nwanguma, a
mother of three, had accused Pastor Kaycee of sexually harassing and
victimizing her.
.
While Nwanguma accused Kaycee, a father of two,
of sexual harassment, Kaycee countered by calling her a, “loose woman
who has slept with at least two to three men here. Her husband doesn’t
know her. He should go and put his house in order. I’m a man of the
cloth. There’re certain things I shouldn’t say.”
Nwanguma had
further accused Kaycee of having a penchant for sexually harassing and
even succeeding in sleeping with women in the organization. She noted
that it was because she rebuffed Kaycee’s sexual advances that led to
her being victimized.
Part of Akpologun’s petition states: “It is
our brief that on April 3, 2017, our client, Brenda Nwanguma, who is a
staff in your organisation, made a complaint to the Head of
Administration of the said mission, Pastor Ifeoma Chiemeka, through
electronic mail on the following; sexual harassment.
She said
that Pastor Kaycee, had been sexually harassing our client by making
demands to have canal knowledge of her in return for facilitating her
transfer from a department with an oppressive boss, to another
department.”
The lawyer further stated that because his client
turned down Kaycee’s sexual advances, the cleric resorted to victimizing
her by posting and transferring her twice, within the space of a
month.”
She has decided to take the matter to court after
endlessly waiting to hear from the committee constituted by the church
to look into the allegations.
