A pastor and a married
woman said to be his
lover have been arrested
by police in Edo in
connection with the
murder of the woman’s
husband, Victor
Nsongbunyo, who is a
Deputy Manager with the
NNPC.
He was said to have been
killed in Benin, capital of
Edo State, by his wife and
her lover, the Pastor, due
to the fact that he had
begun to suspect her of
infidelity.
Late Mr Victor Nsongbuyo
was said to have begun
questioning the paternity
of the children his wife
has for him and the one
she was expecting. Below
are the shocking
revelations...
Mr Victor visited their
home town to complain to
his family and his in-
laws. Consequently, the
families resolved that a
DNA test would be
conducted after the wife
gave birth to the
child . This arrangement,
according to sources,
incensed the wife,
prompting her into plotting
to murder her husband
with her lover, who is a
Pastor.
According to police
sources, Victor returned
from work on Friday
October 22, 2013, his
suspected killers came
and killed him, and put
the mutilated body into
one of his old cars. The
car was driven to Sapele
road, Benin, where it was
set ablaze with his body.
The following Monday,
October 25, the woman
was said to have gone to
her late husband’s office
to report that he was
missing. She was also
said to have reported the
incident of the husband’s
death to the police.
Thereafter, she went to
her husband’s bank where
she allegedly withdrew
N4million from his
account .
It was gathered that
following information to a
staff of the NNPC that a
burnt car was sighted
somewhere along Sapele
Road, they rushed to the
scene and found it was
the late
Mr. Victor Nsongbunyo’s
car.
The NNPC staff rushed to
his wife at their home to
inform her of the finding,
but surprisingly, found her
sitting comfortably at
home watching African
Magic , a situation which
prompted police suspicion
of the woman.
The police were said to
have launched a search
for the car given
to Victor by NNPC
following his promotion,
and the car was
reportedly traced to a
compound at Ekenwan
road in Benin.
The police detectives were
said to have accosted a
lady in the compound
where the car was packed
and she in fear opened
up. She told the police
that the car was packed
by a Pastor who lives in
the compound.
Further investigation by
the police led them to
observe burns in the
Pastor’s left hand and
face. The pastor had
reportedly told the police
that one of his daughters
in the church sowed a
seed with the car.
He was said to have led
the police to the residence
of the said "daughter"
who sowed seed with the
car, but it turned out that
it was the residence of the
deceased and it was the
deceased’s wife.
The police then arrested
the pastor and the
deceased’s wife, both of
whom are now helping the
police in their
investigation into the
murder of
Mr. Victor Nsongbunyo.
The police in Edo State
say they are shocked by
the ugly developme
