Ekiti Pastor Arrested For Killing Wife
An Ekiti-based pastor, Abiodun Sunday, has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing his wife, Tosin Oluwadare, in Ido-Ile in Ekiti West Local Government of the State.
The medium gathered that the pastor was a former herbalist posted to a Christ Apostolic Church in Ori-Oke, Ido Mountain, Ekiti West, where he was once expelled before the dastardly act took place.
The pastor was allegedly caught with the corpse on his way out of the town, the medium further gathered.
Confirming the arrest, the spokesman for the Ekiti State Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Sunday Abutu, said the suspect was with the command and that investigation was ongoing.
A step-brother of the deceased, Mr Samuel Ibironke, alleged that, “After killing my sister, he called my wife who is a health worker to come and assist him, only for my wife to get there and discover that he strangled my sister to death.
The traditional ruler of the community, Oba Aderemi Obaleye, while reacting, condemned the killing of the woman, saying, “It is a very sad development which nearly set the town on fire because the youths went on a rampage in protest against the so-called pastor.
“I want the authorities to investigate the matter and bring the culprit to book so as to serve as a deterrent to others.”
