A State High Court in Port Harcourt has issued a death sentence to Pastor Chidiebere Okoroafor, the General Overseer of the Altar of Solution and Healing Assembly, for the crime of murder.
Pastor Okoroafor had been on trial for the alleged killing of his choir mistress, Uluoma Onweagba, whom he was said to have impregnated.
Additionally, the pastor faced murder charges for the deaths of Uluoma’s friend, Ada Chigozie Ezenwa, and her 11-month-old daughter, Christabel Ezenwa, which occurred on December 11, 2017, during a discussion about the pregnancy at the pastor’s residence in Oyigbo.
The trial judge, Justice S.O Benson, sentenced Pastor Chidiebere Okoroafor to death by hanging based on the evidence presented in court, which indicated his responsibility for the women’s deaths.
Joseph Ezenwa, the widower of Ada Ezenwa Chigozie, expressed gratitude to the court for upholding justice in this matter during an interview with reporters.
