IT’S THE DEVIL! Senior pastor allegedly murders pregnant lover, two others in River
Rivers State Police Command have paraded a Senior Pastor of a new generation church, Altar of Grace Ministries, for allegedly killing three people, including two women and an infant in Oyigbo Local Government Area.
The remains of a woman and her daughter were recovered alongside that of the third victim, Uloma Onweagba, within the premises of the church.
It was gathered that Pastor Chidiebere Okoroafor had impregnated Olumma Onwaagba who until her death was a member of the church choir. He allegedly pressured his victim to terminate the pregnancy but she refused.
The pastor, thereafter, decided to kill Uloma and those who knew about the pregnancy.
The suspect, who was reluctant to respond to questions put to him by newsmen, said he was tempted by the devil.
“I don’t know what came over me. It was the handiwork of the devil. I am just begging for forgiveness from the families,” he said.
The Police said,
“We discovered that the Pastor was having an amorous affair with one of the deceased, Uloma.
“The Pastor manipulated the two women on the 10th of December by first luring Concila to an uncompleted building and killed her there.
“After strangulating the late Concilia, he then took Uloma with Christabel in a tricycle to an isolated farm at Igberu road and gruesomely murdered her in the surrounding overgrown Bush with the baby strapped to her back.
“She was suffocated with the wrapper she used to strap the baby to her back.”
Police say the suspect will be charged to court next week, and that his church, located Izuoma-Afam in Oyigbo Local Government area has been sealed.
