A 33-year-old pastor’s wife, Blessing Okechukwu, has appeared before an Ajegunle Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly burying a live pig in her husband’s church compound, on Tuesday.

The Prosecution Counsel, Insp. S.I. Bassey told the court that the defendant committed the offence around 1.40 a.m. on September 3, at the National bank estate, Satelite Town, Lagos.

He alleged that the defendant, and her husband, who was the senior pastor of License of Healing Deliverance Mission, were caught burying a live pig in the church compound.

Mr Bassey told the court that he had witnesses who saw the defendant in the act and picture evidence of the pig when the police dug it up.
The offence, he said, contravened the revised provisions of sections 411, 168 (d) and 394 (1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that Sections 168 and 394 both stipulates a three-month jail term each for the offence of breach of peace and animal cruelty respectively, while 411 carries two-years for conspiracy.

The Magistrate, Ramot Ayilara, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.

She ordered that the surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed, with address verified by the court.
Mrs Ayilara adjourned the case until September 19 for mention.

The question is why did they do it?

Don’t you know it would disrupt public peace when the church members find out what their pastor and wife is up to especially for those that are sick and those the persons the pastors have tasked heavily.

The law does not recognized sacrifice as crime but buying life animal alive which is cruelty is a good way to catch ritualist
