A retired boxer known as Everistus Ezehiri is said to have boxed his wife to death in the University town of Uli in Anambra state.
According to information reaching us, the wife, described as a hard-working petty trader in the local Ekeagbagba market, had asked the husband (now at large) for money with which to cook for the family on Christmas day.
It was gathered that instead of providing the money, Evaritus, said to be a pastor with a local branch of Our Lord Chosen Church in the town, turned her into a punching bag, leading to her instant death.
It was learnt that as a result of the incidence, youths from the deceased’s neighbouring village of Amamputu, also in Uli, descended on Evaritus’ Country home, setting it ablaze.
Information has it also that several charms and idols were discovered in the house of a purported pastor, including a moulded human statue clothed with the apron of Our Lord Chosen.
More details later.
