Police Command is investigating the murder of one Victor
Nsongbunyo, a Deputy Manager attached to Nigeria
Petroleum Development Company NPDC, Benin City, who
was allegedly murdered by his wife and her pastor boy friend,
penultimate Friday.
The deceased, whom Vanguard learnt is from Cross River
State, was recently promoted to Deputy Manager in the
company and was due to retire from service next year before
he met his death.
It was learnt that the deceased 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 the wife is carrying was not from him.
Consequently, the families resolved that a DNA test be
conducted after giving birth to the child.
Vanguard learnt that it was this arrangement that infuriated
the wife and which led her into allegedly plotting the murder
her husband with her lover pastor.
On Friday October 22, 2013, the deceased came home after
work when the suspected killers came. After allegedly
committing the dastardly act, they took the mutilated body
into one of his old cars and drove to Sapele Road.
The car, with the body of the NPDC Manager in it, was set
ablaze.
On Monday October 25, the wife was said to have gone to the
deceased's office to report that her husband was missing.
But apparently after visiting the husband's office, she went
straight to the bank and withdrew N4 milion from his account.
The woman also went to the police to report the incident.
However, staff of NDDC were informed that people observed
a burnt car somewhere along Sapele Road. They rushed to the
scene and found it was the late Nsongbunyo's car.
They went back to the deceased's wife to inform her of the
situation but found her sitting comfortably at home watching
television.
That was when the police started suspecting her.
However, detectives intensified search for the deceased car
which was given to him by the company, following his
promotion.
The 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 lived in the compound.
When the pastor came out, detectives observed burns in his
left hand and face. The pastor disclosed that one of his
daughters in the church sowed a seed with the car. The duo
were arrested immediately and are currently being
investigated by detectives at the Police Command in Edo
State.
