'Na wa o' - Rife reactions as court sentences pastor to death, 6 years after killing choir mistress, 2 others

Pastor Chidiebere Okoroafor

Chidiebere Okoroafor, the General Overseer of the Altar of Solution and Healing Assembly, in Oyigbo, Rivers state has been sentenced to death by hanging for multiple murders.

Okoroafor is reported to be standing trial for the death of his mistress Orlunma Nwagba, whom he allegedly impregnated.

The Punch also alleged that he killed Orlunma’s friend, Chigozie Ezenwa, and her 11 months-old baby girl, Cresabel, on December 11, 2017.

In his judgement, Justice, S.O Benson of the High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, ordered that Okoroafor should be killed by hanging him on his neck until he is dead or should be injected with a lethal injection which also kills faster.

According to the trial judge, the evidence and confessional statements from the pastor showed that he committed the crime.

The choir mistress, Orlunma Nwagba, was said to have visited the pastor’s house in Oyigbo for a discussion over the alleged pregnancy when he tricked them into a bush and allegedly committed the act in two different locations.

Pastor Okoroafor was arrested on December 17, 2017 by the operatives of the Rivers state police Command following an alarm raised by Chigozie’s husband over the killing of three people in two different locations in Oyigbo LGA.

Why the pastors can not do without killing of innocent souls and they also indulge in committing adultery and fornication?
