Okoroafor was also facing murder charges of killing Orlunma’s friend, Chigozie Ezenwa, and her 11 months-old-baby girl, Cresabel, on December 11, 2017, in Oyigbo Local Government Area.
Men of Rivers State Police Command had on December 17, 2017 arrested Pastor Okoroafor following an alarm raised by Chigozie’s husband over the killing of three people in two different locations in Oyigbo.
In his judgement, the trial judge, S.O Benson said the evidence and confessional statements from the pastor showed that he committed the crime.
Justice Benson said the prosecution proved the case of murder against the clergyman, and ordered he should be killed by hanging until he is dead or should be injected with a lethal injection which also kills faster.
