Pastor Allegedly Stabs Wife To Death In Anambra

The Anambra State Government, through the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare, has launched an investigation into the alleged murder of Ogechukwu Okafor, reportedly killed by her husband, Elijah Emeka Ibeabuchi, a pastor.

The incident, which occurred on August 13, 2024, came to the attention of authorities after the deceased’s family raised concerns about her husband’s role in her death.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to a statement released by Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, media aide to the Commissioner for Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, the crime took place in Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The statement revealed that Ogechukwu’s uncle, Samuel Onuorah, led the family in filing a complaint with the ministry.

Onuorah alleged that Ibeabuchi had initially claimed that Ogechukwu died after falling from a four-story building.

However, upon inspecting her body at the mortuary, the family found evidence suggesting otherwise—Ogechukwu had been stabbed in the neck and chest.
