Apostolic Church, Ode – Remo area of the state,
where he is a pastor.

Dr Ojeblenu, who is attending to Patience’s case,
said the woman would still be on close observation
because of the degree of injury inflicted as well as
the likely psychological trauma on account of shock
from the attack.
TON learnt that Daniel Samuel had cause to
complain severally to his in-laws over his wife’s
attitude of placing high premium on her business at
the expense of spiritual development, threatening to
make his wife rue terribly, her nonchalant
disposition to church matters.
The husband who could not put up any longer with
his wife attitude was said to have left the church
Sunday and hurried to where the wife carries out
her business, and argument ensued while
demanding explanation for shunning church.
In a fit of anger, the pastor allegedly dashed to a
closet, pulled a cutlass and struck her at the neck.
The Pastor on sensing that his wife had passed out,
alerted neighbours, shouting that his wife has been
attacked by unknown persons and that they should
help in rushing her to the hospital.
Upon getting to FMC, he was asked to obtain police
covering note because of the severity of the injury,
but while trying to obtain Police report deceptively,
he was arrested and detained at the Owode-Egaba
Divisional Police headquarters.
The Ogun State Command Police Public Relations
Officer (PPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi confirmed the
arrest of the pastor, told reporters that he would be
charged for false information and wounding.
Adejobi said: “the Pastor is with us, he initially lied
to the Police that the wife was attacked by some
men but later confessed after interrogation. As such
he will soon be charged to court for false
information and wounding.”
