Victor Onyedi, a Facebook commentator wrote too, ‘’Pastor Victor Okoh of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Oron Akwa Ibom has butchered his wife Victoria.
The pastor was at the pulpit yesterday preaching.
What exactly was he preaching?
That’s the question, I’m asking?
Why can’t he forgive his wife?
He committed this dastardly act in the morning.
Which implies is not up 24 hours after spreading the gospel in the sanctuary.
He used a sharpened machete to k!ll his wife
To show he has predetermined his action.
He locked up the protector.
To prevent the women from escaping.
Should we call it anger?
Should we call it temptation?
Should we call it a spiritual attack?
Should we blame the devil?
We are waiting
But we are calling for justice’’
The state Commissioner for Police, Buba Azare visited the scene on Monday, March 10 had confirmed that the police command had arrested and detained suspect waiting for trial by a competent of jurisdiction.
