Trouble as 3 allegedly die during
church deliverance service in Delta
3 worshippers of a church in Warri
have allegedly died during a deliverance service. NAN reports that one of the
deceased drowned while two others died during a prayer session in the church at
the weekend. “The information actually is that one worshipper drowned and two
died in the church; that is the information available to me at the moment,”
Delta state’s Police Command PRO, DSP Andrew Aniamaka said. According to an
eyewitness, 10-year-old boy Emmanuel Odili got drowned while Mrs Beatrice
Nwachukwu and Mr Antonio Abba died during a deliverance service
Reports were that Odili on Friday
followed his mother to the church for a service but went missing later. His
body was found the next day in a pit inside the church premises. Church
authorities were said to have deposited the remains of the boy at a morgue
before reporting the incident at Eburumede police station.
The authority of the church alleged
that the deceased had mental disorder which was denied by the parents. “While
the matter was being investigated, some members of the church on Saturday came
to report that Mrs Nwachukwu and Mr Abba had died during deliverance in the
church. “They (church authority) said that Nwachukwu slumped during the prayer
session; they also claimed she had high blood pressure but the husband denied
it
When contacted, the spokesman of the
church, Mr Godday Emiko, denied the allegations through a text message. “Sorry,
I miss your call, there is nothing like that,” Emiko said.
