A pastor from Cross River State, identified as Pastor Oliver Akpan has
been stabbed by a woman who claims he tried to rape her during a deliverance
session.
According to the Pulse who reported the incident, Pastor Akpan, married with
six children, had long been suspected to sleep with his church members, both
married and single but he met his match in the woman identified as Ekamma, who
is also married with two children.
As the story goes, Ekamma had gone to the pastor to seek his help over some
spiritual attack she was facing and Pastor Akpan had recommended a three day
dry fasting for the woman to be carried out in the church and on the final day,
there would be a spiritual bath to ward off the evil spirit.
After going through the fast, the pastor led the hungry woman to a stream to
have the spiritual bath but he had other ideas in mind as he was said to have
told the woman that part of the bath included having sex with her but when she
refused, she attempted to forcefully have carnal knowledge of the woman.
As the woman tried to free herself, she allegedly picked up a sharp stick and
stabbed him in the stomach, before she ran to the village to alert other
residents.
By the time they got to the spot, the wounded pastor had lost consciousness as
he bled profusely. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors confirmed he died
before he was brought in.
The woman was initially arrested by the police but was released on bail while
investigations are still on going.
