EKO HOT BLOG reports that the incident reportedly occurred in Obanleku Community, Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State after the girl’s mother took her to the pastor’s residence over allegations that she stole the money.

Nancy, a secondary school pupil, reportedly died after she was allegedly beaten with a horsewhip by Samson, the founder and General Overseer of Goodness of Jesus Ministry.

According to police sources, the incident began on June 1, 2026, when Agnes allegedly discovered that ₦30,000 she had kept at home was missing and accused her daughter of stealing it.

A source at the Homicide Section of the command alleged that the woman took the teenager to the pastor for punishment.

“The woman took her 13-year-old daughter to her pastor’s house for stealing. She complained that she had kept ₦30,000 at home and could not find the money when she needed it. She accused her daughter of stealing the money.

“The woman left the poor girl with the pastor and went home. By the time she returned, the pastor had flogged the girl to death with a horsewhip. He took her to the hospital, where she was confirmed dead,” the source said.

Speaking to detectives, Agnes denied asking the pastor to beat her daughter to death, insisting she only took the teenager to him for counselling and prayers.

“It is true that I took my daughter to the pastor after I discovered that my ₦30,000 was missing from where I kept it. That was not the first time my daughter had stolen my money, and it was not the first time I reported her to the pastor.

“That day, I took her to my pastor’s house when she refused to disclose where she kept my money. While we were at the pastor’s house, she confessed to stealing the money and even told me that she kept it in one of her trousers.

“I quickly stood up to go and confirm where she kept the money, and I found my ₦30,000 in the pocket of one of her trousers.”

She maintained that the pastor had not assaulted Nancy before she left to retrieve the money.

“The pastor had not beaten her when I left to search for where she said she kept the money. It was while I was returning that I saw him rushing my daughter to the hospital. I met him on the way.

“I didn’t tell him to kill my daughter. I have reported her to the pastor before, and I only wanted him to scold and counsel her. I was not there when he beat my daughter to death. I only saw him taking her to the hospital.”
