Detectives from the Edo state Police Command have launched a manhunt for a certain pastor, Henry Ojochunu Ekukpe, who was alleged to have stabbed his wife, Patience, to death in the presence of their six year-old baby, leaving a note containing ten questions he allegedly expected his late wife to answer.
The runaway suspect is said to pastor one of the branches of Mountain of Victory and Fire Deliverance Ministry in Benin City. Henry, who got married to his 29-year-old in 2014, has been having issues that forced the deceased out of his house months ago.
However, trouble started last Sunday when the pastor reportedly invited the deceased for a dialogue pretending that he wanted her back to the house. When the deceased came, her husband was said to have used a hidden knife to stab her in different parts of her body and escaped from the area. Police investigations revealed a note containing ten questions the pastor left for his late wife to give answers to.
Some of the questions contained in the note were:
Quote
“Did you come to marry me because of money or for who I am? “In the first place, did you really come out with your own full mind? “Who gave you the order to pack your property away from our home? “Who is your adviser in this marriage that is polluting your mind against me? “Have we ever in life went to beg for food ever since we got married? “Has you mother ever brought food for us to eat one day because of hunger? “Have I not told you at the beginning that I hate someone insulting me? “You always pray that God should help you to eat the fruit of your labour? “So no man has the power to take one’s life but today we are going together. “So how do you feel now?” the pastor had written in the note.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, PPRO, Abiodun Osifo who confirmed the incident, assured that the police will bring the pastor to book. Osifo, who described the incident as “tragic and barbaric”, vowed that the police would ensure the culprit was arrested.

The man said wrote " they are going together" could it be he has himself somewhere else? Though am not in any way in support of anyone taking ones life, but the question note reveal the problem of the marriage that leads to the death of the wife. WOMEN, hear my advice, be satisfied with what you are having. (No matter what).

AM SUSPECTING EVIL MANIPULATION, THE TOUGHEST AND HARDEST JOB TO DO IS THE WORK OF A MINISTRY EXPECIALLY WHEN U ARE NOT CALLED AND U CALL URSELF AS U ARE BATTLING WITH UR MARRIAGE, U WILL BE BATTLING WITH EVIL SPIRIT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CHURCH EVEN SISTERS IN THE CHURCH THAT ARE DELILAH .WILL WANT U TO FALL , BUT MOST PASTORS OF TODAY DID NOT GO FOR DELIVERANCE TO CHECK THEIR FOUNDATION OR FIGHT THE POWER IN THEIR FATHERs HOUSE BEFORE OPENING A CHURCH THEREBY CONSTITUTING A NUISANCE IN THE SOCIETY INSTEAD OF HELPER OF DESTINY, AND MAKING MOCKERY OF THE NAME OF GOD FOR UNBELIEVERS TO USE AS AN EXCUSE NOT TO REPENT. IS REALLY A SHAME ALL BECAUSE TO MAKE A NAME AND FAME IN THE SOCIETY
