Detectives from the Edo State Police Command have launched a
manhunt for a certain pastor, Henry Ojochunu Ekukpe, who was alleged to have
stabbed his wife, Patience, to death in the presence of their six-year-old
baby, leaving a note containing ten questions he allegedly expected his late
wife to answer.
The runaway suspect, Vanguard gathered, is said to pastor one of
the branches of Mountain of Victory and Fire Deliverance Ministry in Benin City.
Henry, who got married to his 29-year-old in 2014, has been
having issues that forced the deceased out of his house months ago.
However, trouble started last Sunday when the pastor reportedly
invited the deceased for a dialogue pretending that he wanted her back to the
house.
When the deceased came, her husband was said to have used a
hidden knife to stab her in different parts of her body and escaped from the
area.
Police investigations revealed a note containing ten questions
the pastor left for his late wife to give answers to.
Some of the questions contained in the note were:
“Did you come to marry me because of money or for who I am?
“In the first place, did you really come out with your own full
mind?
“Who gave you the order to pack your property away from our
home?
“Who is your adviser in this marriage that is polluting your
mind against me?
“Have we ever in life went to beg for food ever since we got
married?
“Has you mother ever brought food for us to eat one day because
of hunger?
“Have I not told you at the beginning that I hate someone
insulting me?
“You always pray that God should help you to eat the fruit of
your labour?
“So no man has the power to take one’s life but today we are
going together.
“So how do you feel now?” the pastor had written in the note.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, PPRO, Abiodun
Osifo who confirmed the incident, assured that the police will bring the pastor
to book.
Osifo, who described the incident as “tragic and barbaric”,
vowed that the police would ensure the culprit was arrested.
