Police detectives in Lagos are currently working hard to unravel the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of a mother of three, just as a Lagos-based pastor who allegedly eloped with the married woman is being detained by the police.
The man of God, Pastor Ken Obinwa, is also alleged to have swindled the woman’s husband of several millions of naira. Husband of the run-away woman, simply identified as Eze, as well as her children were seen at the Festac Police Station begging the pastor to release the woman or tell them her whereabouts.
Eze, who narrated his ordeals in the hands of the pastor, said he had enjoyed 22 years of blissful marriage with his wife, Clara, before the pastor reportedly caused confusion in their home.
“We were blessed with three children,” he said. “One of them is studying abroad. I am a caring father and husband who have always taken good care of my family. I bought cars for my wife and I had travelled abroad with my wife and children several times. We don’t lack anything. God blessed us with money and we were happy until this pastor came into my wife’s life.”
Eze said he got a shocker from his children when he returned home one day with some food he bought from an eatery. “My children rejected the food,” he said. “I thought it was a joke until they started running away from me. I came back home the second day and my little angels refused to greet me. They kept running away from me.”
He said when he reported the case to his wife, she told him to confess his sins, adding that a pastor had revealed that he was planning to kill her. “She said the pastor told her that I was planning to kill her and her children. I tried to find out who the pastor was, but that was when my wife gave me another shocker. She accused me of belonging to an occult group, that the pastor also told her I am a cultist.
“I started suffering what I did not know anything about. I think the pastor hypnotized my wife. Each time I wanted to explain things to Clara, the more she would complicate the issue.”
Eze said as a result of his wife’s strange behaviour, he joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, a Christian denomination. “But my wife stopped giving me food. Later, God started his miracle when my undergraduate son confessed to me that he was in Pastor Obinwa’s house for over six months. My son told me that the pastor asked him to come for some spiritual bath and the mother took him to the pastor’s house. This was a boy who told me he was in the school.”
The distraught husband said his son also told him that the pastor had been taking them from one river to the other for spiritual baths. He said his daughter also revealed to him how their mother had been packing food items, money, clothes and other personal effects to the pastor. “The pastor must have collected several millions of naira from my wife because her bank account is now empty,” he said. He quoted his children as saying that the pastor’s wife also frequented their home to collect things.
According to Eze, after hearing his children’s confessions, he decided to confront his wife who he said later eloped with the pastor. He then decided to report the matter to the police who arrested the pastor.
“I am begging the pastor to give me back my wife. If he can’t bring her back, let him tell me where she is. I am sure the pastor used some diabolical means to deceive her. This fake pastor has shattered my home. It is only God that can set me free.”
His son, Charles, who took the narrative from the father said: “When I got admission to study at the university, the pastor told me not to go, that I would die as soon as I arrived at the school. Out of fear, I stayed in his house for six months. My father bought me a laptop and gave my mum N500, 000 for my school fees and upkeep. But mum spent the money with the pastor. They were lavishing my money on themselves.
“Pastor told my sister and that our daddy is a member of an occult group and that he wanted to use our blood for rituals. My mum told us to believe the pastor. That was why I started running from our dad. My sister too was afraid of our daddy.”
Eze’s daughter, Clara, who corroborated Charles’ story, also begged the pastor to release their mother. “Our mum drove out in her jeep and I know she went to the pastor’s house. Please, pastor, give us our mother. We love her and we need her.”
Pastor Obinwa told Daily Sun that the woman was just his business associate. “I only transact business with her. My wife introduced her to me. I am not her pastor. I was only doing business with her and she is our family friend.”
On her whereabouts, he said: “My friend, the woman told me she was travelling to London. I prayed with her and I wished her safe journey.”
On whether he was visiting the woman’s house while the husband was away, he said: “Yes, I used to visit the woman who is my very good friend. It is true that her husband and I had never met until today but madam is a very good friend of mine. There was a day my wife prepared a cake for her, and her husband even ate from it. That is to show you that we are family friends.”
A mild drama ensued when the police told the husband to call his wife on her cell phone to know her whereabouts. The woman, however, refused to pick the call. But as soon as the pastor called, the woman answered.
The embattled man of God said that the woman is still alive. “She gave me a foreign number. She is in London. Oga don’t worry, your wife will soon come back to you,” he assured.
Nigeria with all these fake pastors, may God save us from them.
