Daniel Samuel ,45, a Pastor
with a branch of The Apostolic Church in Ode-Remo, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria has been arrested by the
police for allegedly attacking his wife with a machete .
According to AfricanOutlook,
the cleric was reported to have at various times alleged that his wife,
Patience Udoji Samuel
was not participating in prayer meetings and other church activities, and
decided to teach her a bitter lesson.
The man of God (?) was said to have travelled from Ode-Remo down to Owode- Egba in Obafemi Owode local government area of Ogun State, a distance about 10 kilometres, where his wife works as a petty trader and violently attacked her following an argument between them.
It was gathered that, after realising the gravity of the havoc, he allegedly raised false alarm in the community, deceiving residents that the victim was attacked by unknown person(s). He thereafter rushed to police station to lodge same complaint.
An elder brother of the victim, Samson Akpikie, while reacting to the sad development, noted that a family meeting was earlier scheduled for Sunday (December 15,2013) over the couple differences before the sad incident took place. However, upon further investigation by the police, the husband was said to have confessed to the crime and subsequently detained.
The Ogun Command Police Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi confirmed the incident adding that the Pastor will soon be charged to court.
His words: "The Pastor is with us, he initially lied to the Police that the wife was attacked by some men but later confessed after interrogation. As such he will soon be charged to court for false information and wounding,"
