A self-acclaimed pastor, Pastor Chris Simon Amadi, said to be of Shalom Mercy Ministry in Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State has been arrested by the police for allegedly strangling his wife to death.
The incident reportedly happened in their home at Mbodo Community after a disagreement over students who are yet to pay school fees in his wife’s school.
A relative of the wife told Igbere TV that trouble started when the deceased confronted her husband for chasing some of her pupils away from school for failing to pay on time, without first checking with her.
The disagreement degenerated rapidly and the man strangled his wife till she was dead
“The pastor strangled her to death and wrapped her with clothes so that nobody will know”, the source said.
“It was when we started calling her number but she wasn’t picking that we decided to go to the house to know if everything is fine.”
“When we got there, her phone kept ringing inside her room but we didn’t see her. We asked her husband the wife’s whereabouts, he said she went out.”
“We were shocked when we saw my sister wrapped inside clothes. The husband has been beating the wife from time to time but we didn’t know it will get to the extent of him killing her”.
The couple have been married since 2012 and are blessed with four children, two boys and two girls.
