The pastor in charge of Arm of the Lord Church in Imo state, Mr. Goddy Onyeho has been apprehended by operatives of the Imo state police command for accurately prophesying the location of the corpse of Mrs Augustina Inebere, a woman beheaded by unknown assailants.
The cleric is expected to provide the police further details of what knows about the incident, which took place at Alaiyiama, Obollo community, in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State recently.
The body of Mrs Augustina Inebere, 68, who went missing on February 3, 2020 was found headless and disembowelled along a bush path at Mbara Alaenyi.
In his prophesy, Onyeho had said the deceased, would be found at that exact spot during a prayer session with the family, whom he instructed to go to a particular area in the bush where they would see the woman either dead or alive.
After Inebere’s corpse was found, the matter was reported to the police who in turn arrested the pastor.
Imo state police command spokesperson, Orlando Ikeowku, who confirmed the incident, said the sexagenarian went missing in Ugiri community in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State and the matter was reported at the Isiala Mbano police division.
“Some people came and told the family of the woman that they saw the woman walking towards the direction of a particular bush and she was being trailed by her late husband who died 10 years ago. The person told the family that he saw the woman moving while the husband was moving behind her. That was very suspicious.
Later on, a pastor within the area said he wanted to hold a prayer session for them so that God would reveal the location of the missing woman to them. “They held the prayer session and in the course of the prayer session, the pastor prophesied that they should go to a particular area in the bush and they would see the woman either dead or alive. Behold, after the prayer session, they went there and they met the decomposing corpse of the woman without a head.
“The pastor was arrested for questioning and we currently have about four suspects. Investigation into the matter is ongoing,” he said.
