shortly after the he attacked his wife with cutlass, he alerted the neighbours that his wife was  matcheted by some unknown men, urging the people to help him take her to the hospital.

But  when the victim was taken to Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba in Abeokuta, because of the level of the injury, the doctor was not convinced so he insisted that the case should be reported to the Police as she commenced the  treatment.

The pastor was said to have quickly rushed to Owode-Egba Divisional Police headquarters to report the case but, reportedly  lied to the police that the woman was wounded by some unknown men.

The Police after  investigations discovered that the man was responsible and subsequently detained him.

Adejobi further  explained that the pastor had confessed to the crime after an interrogation, adding that he would be charged for false information and wounding.

“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,” the PPRO said.

When newsmen visited the hospital, Mrs Samuel was still in a very critical condition as her bed sheet was soaked with blood but managed to utter some few words which were incoherent.

The Consultant of Orthopaedics and Trauma who was in charge of the patient, Doctor Ojeblenu said that the woman would still  be under close observation because of the depth of the injury and the psychological trauma she might be going through.
