THE police in Edo State are currently on the hunt
for a pastor identified as Henry Ojochunu
Ekukpe, who was alleged to have stabbed her
29-year-old wife, Patience Ekukpe, in the
presence of their six-month-old baby and
escaped, leaving behind a note with 10
questions, apparently meant for his wife to
answer.

The Guardian gathered that the couple got
married in September 2014 but have been having
issues that led to his leaving the house at No. 19
Uloko Street, Okpoghe Quarters, in Eyaen, New
Aduwawa.



The runaway murderer is said to be the pastor
of the Mountain of Victory and Fire Deliverance
Ministry aka Power and Prophetic Church.

It was gathered that the victim left her matrimonial
home for some months until her husband invited
her in the disguise that they want to resolve
their crisis.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Abiodun
Osifo, who confirmed the incident described it as
“tragic and barbaric” and vowed that the culprit
would be arrested and brought to book.
The Guardian obtained a copy of the statement
left behind by the fleeing pastor and the 10
questions included:

“Have we ever in life went to beg for food ever
since we got married? Has your 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? In the first place,
did you really come out with your own full mind?
Did you come to marry me because of money or
for who I am? 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? 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?”
