Dr Aime, a pastor at the Living Faith Church and a lecturer at the Torkula Polytechnic, Markurdi, the Benue State capital was on Wednesday morning beaten to pulp by irate mob following allegation of genital theft.
He was reportedly preaching during a gospel outreach, on Wednesday, around the Wurukum area of Makurdi but trouble started when he laid hands on a young man to pray for him.
The young man being prayed for raised an alarm that his genital had disappeared.
Sources told Journalists that Okada riders gathered around the pastor and nearly lynched him before the arrival of military and policemen at the scene who rescued him.
Pastor Aime and the victim of the alleged genital theft were then taken to the E Divisional Police in Makurdi where the police confirmed that the alarm was false and the supposed disappeared genital was intact.
The DPO of E Divisional Police in Makurdi said he was going to prosecute anyone who raised false alarms over genital theft in the state.
It was gathered that relatives of the young man who raised the false alarm are now pleading with the police not to prosecute him.
