A 32-year-old pastor of Christ Chosen Church of God has been arrested for his role in the death of his pregnant girlfriend, a 38-year-old mother of four.

Pastor Ngbeken Elvis was procuring an abortion for the pregnancy his girlfriend, identified as Mama Sarah, had for him in Edo State. The duo are reportedly married to different spouses.

According to The Nation, Pastor Elvis and Mama Sarah, whose husband reside abroad, had been secretly having an affair for over six months.

The deceased husband is said to have built a house for his family where the late wife and children live at Okhokhugbo community in Egor LGA.

Mama Sarah was said to have died at a hospital she was rushed to after the abortion attempt failed and her condition turned critical.

Pastor Elvis revealed he was suspended from the church over marital issues. He said his wife was in the habit of always fighting him since they got married in December 2016, and the church suspended him because he could not settle problems he had with his wife.

Meanwhile, Mama Sarah’s husband family are demanding a refund of the bride price they paid. They are also saying Pastor Elvis would take care of the burial expenses after performing the marriage rites.

He said,

“I knew this Mama Sarah when she was ill. I prayed for her and she promised to reward me. We started dating but the children were not aware.

When one of her daughters wanted to raise suspicion after some neighbours questioned my continued visit to their house, she threatened to throw her out of the house.

She asked me to move into their house three months ago before I could get an apartment and I was staying there. I am an orphan. I didn’t plan to get into this mess.

She didn’t tell me she was pregnant. I was not aware she went to procure an abortion. I am really ashamed. I prayed to God to forgive me. I am now remorseful. She used to give me N1000 or N2000 to run errands for her.”
