Saturday Vanguard learnt that the deceased who was recently
promoted to the position of Deputy Manager, was due to retire
next year. It was learnt that the decease and his wife had been
having issues with the paternity of their children after the
deceased suspected the wife was having an extra marital affair
with the Pastor.
The deceased was said to have visited home to complain to
both his family and that of his wife after suspecting that the
current pregnancy which is being carried by the wife was not
from him. Consequently, the families resolved that a DNA
would be conducted after giving birth to the child. Saturday
Vanguard further learnt that it was this arrangement that
infuriated the wife that led her into plotting to murder her
husband with her lover Pastor.
Friday October 22, 2013, It was learnt that the Pastor whom
Vanguard gathered has been a close family friend, called the
deceased on telephone and told him he wanted to see him.
The deceased was said to have drove to somewhere along
Sapele road, to meet with the Pastor. On getting there, it was
gathered that the Pastor entered the vehicle and stabbed the
deceased twice. As if that was not enough, he drove the car to
hidden destination along Sapele road and set both the car and
the deceased car ablaze.
On Monday 25, the wife was said to have gone to the office to
report that the husband was missing. But apparently after
visiting the husband's office, she went straight to the bank and
withdrew N4milion from the husband's account.
The wife of the deceased also went to the police to report the
incident. However, staff of the NDDC was informed that
people observed a burnt car and somebody inside it
somewhere along Sapele Road, they quickly rushed down and
found it was that of Mr Nsongbunyo. The shocked NPDC
staff went back to the deceased wife at their home to inform
her of the situation but found her sitting comfortably at home
watching African Magic. However, detectives intensified
search for the deceased new car which was given to him by
the company following his promotion. The car, a Volkswagen
Passat car was tracked to a compound at Ekenwan road Benin
City.
Vanguard learnt that a lady was accosted by detectives in the
compound and she confessed that the car was packed by a
Pastor that lives in the compound. When the Pastor came out,
detectives observed burns in his left hand and his face. The
Pastor disclosed that one of his daughters in the church sowed
a seed with the car. He subsequently took them to the
residence of the deceased where it was discovered that it was
the deceased wife.
The duo were arrested immediately and according to the state
Police commissioner, have confessed to have committed the
dastard act. According to Adebanjo, "what happened was
that the Pastor called the deceased to come and meet him
somewhere along Sapele Road, when the deceased got there
the Pastor stabbed him twice and then burnt the car.
The woman gave the husband's new car to the Pastor and we
found the car with the Pastor. A 2013 model of Volkswagen
car. It is a very sad and wicked act. After killing the man in
his vehicle he set the car ablaze. The Pastor changed the plate
number of the car and put a fake one after he murdered the
man. It was when we saw the burnt in his hand that we knew
that he was involved. Though he has confessed and after now
we will take them to court. They both confessed that they are
lovers but I believe that it was wicked on their part to have
plotted the killing of the man.
Mrs Isonguyo who denied she was having extra marital affairs
with the Pastor, narrated that "when I did not see my husband
I ran to the Pastor because we have known for a very long
time. I took my husband's new car to him to sow a seed in the
church so that my husband will be found. I told him to take it
to the church but I don't know that he went and changed the
plate numbers. I had to ask him to pray harder because I love
my husband and I don't want anything to happen to him.
I did not kill my husband because I loved him. I brought the
car and told him to take it to his church and sow a seed that I
want God to answer my prayers so that my husband will come
back. I told him to take it to the church because even if it is a
house I would have taken it to sow a seed for my husband to
come back. I gave it to him but what I did not know was that
he went to change the plate number and other papers that have
to do with the car.
I was lying down in the house at about 11pm that day when
the police came and arrested me". Asked if she is having extra
marital affair with the Pastor, she asserted " God forbid, I
have not had any affair with the Pastor. The Pastor has been a
close family friend and we always give him cloths to go and
share in the orphanages. And even when I travelled with my
husband we gave him our ATM card so that he can take care
of our poultry and whatever that is needed to be done. He has
been very honest to us so I don't know what is happening".
She further denied having quarrel with the late husband,
asserting that "Until I came to this place nobody told me that
my husband is dead. I pray that God should intervene because
I have never committed any crime before in my life. I want
God to intervene in this matter. I have three boys for my
husband, 17, 16 and 15 years".
In his confession, Pastor Ukachukwu whom Vanguard learnt
has not been to their church, Land of Evidence Church along
Airport Road Benin City, said he kicked against bringing the
car to him by the deceased wife but decided to accept it when
she insisted that she wanted to sow a seed. According to him
"I have been a family Pastor and sometimes I pick their
children from school.
She called me and said that she wanted to give me a car to
sow a seed in my church. When she even brought the car I
asked her why she should bring the car in the middle of this
crisis but she said her husband is worth more than any
material thing that she can make any sacrifice for her
husband. I changed the plate number because any gift for
Pastors you have to change it in order to be able to drive the
car". CP Adebanjo said the duo would be charged to court for
murder.
