A supposed man of God in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, was
recently beaten to a pulp by some prostitutes because he went after another woman
apart from his regular customer.
According to an eyewitness who sent
the report to Pulse, the man identified as Pastor Effiong, had been
secretly patronizing the ladies of the night at a popular brothel
located around the Watt area and had one of them as his regular
customer.
The witness who was at the scene when the fracas happened, said:
“Trouble
brewed for him when he went to the hotel with his bible on the pretext
of preaching as he always does. But unfortunately for him, his regular
woman was engaged with another man and instead of waiting for her, he
went to another lady’s room and was busy enjoying himself when his
regular woman came out and was told that the pastor had gone to another
woman.
I never knew that prostitutes could be jealous o. The lady
went to her colleagues room and banged on the door, accusing the woman
of snatching her man.
The one inside was not happy with the
accusation and opened her door in anger and engaged the first one in a
fight. Other prostitutes of hearing what happened, grouped and descended
on the Pastor and beat him blue black.
It took the intervention of
other patrons of the hotel to get him out of the clutches of the women
who were busy insulting him, calling him unprintable names. It was a show of shame indeed.”
