A man in Osun State has stabbed a pastor, Bishop Shina Olaribigbe to death on suspicion of sleeping with his wife.
The deceased was the founder of Rapture Empowerment International, Osogbo, where his killer’s wife served as an interpreter.
According to report, the couple were estranged, lived apart and had history of always fighting themselves while Bishop Olaribigbe most times settled their rifts.
This time, the Osun Police Command Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, told Punchng, the man went to see his estranged wife, and met the Pastor lying on her bed suggestive of an amorous affair with his wife.
This woke his anger and in that state reached for a knife and stabbed the pastor many times and ultimately killing him.
“They are a couple but not living together. They are not separated by law yet. The Pastor (Shina Olaribigbe) used to settle the fight between the couple.
“We were told the pastor was at the wife’s place today when the estranged husband got there. We were also told the husband stabbed the pastor. We were also told the deceased was on the wife’s bed when the incident happened.
“The husband stabbed him several times and he died. It was learnt the husband acted on the suspicion that the pastor was sleeping with the woman,” Opalola was quoted as saying.
