The Dimapur Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) has strongly condemned the alleged sexual molestation of minors by the Senior Pastor of Father’s House Church in Chümoukedima. “The recent revelations have shocked and outraged our community, and we stand in solidarity with the victims and their families,” stated the DNSU.
Applauding the swift action taken by the Church Board in demanding the pastor’s immediate resignation and barring him from representing the church, the Union stated that the decisive step demonstrates a commitment to upholding moral and ethical standards.
“DNSU supports the ongoing police investigation and urges the authorities to take stringent action against the accused, ensuring justice for the victims. We also appreciate the Commissioner of Police, Dimapur’s assurance to file a case or take suo moto action once sufficient evidence is established,” expressed the Union.
As an organization dedicated to protecting and promoting students’ welfare, DNSU has expressed concerns by allegations involving minors. We emphasize that sexual exploitation and abuse are heinous crimes that warrant zero tolerance, it emphasised.

- Individuals to refrain from inflammatory statements, allowing the law to take its course.
“DNSU stands committed to creating a safe environment for all, especially vulnerable groups like children and minors. We will closely monitor the situation and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to prevent such incidents in the future,” asserted the DNSU.
