Foluso Adebanjo, Edo Police Commissioner

A pastor of Land of Evidence Church in Benin City, Prince Udoka Nkanchukwu yesterday said a Volkswagen Passat car found on him was a seed sown by a woman to help find her missing husband.
Pastor Udoka changed the plate number of the car before he was caught after the car was tracked to his residence.

Pastor Udoka who said he changed the plate number because pastors don’t drive such cars with the original plate number was paraded by the Edo State Police Command for murder of the woman’s husband.

The husband of the woman, Victor Gabriel Isonguyo, a staff of Nigeria Petroleum Development Commission (NPDC) was found burnt in his private car along Sapele road.
Police said Pastor Udoka has confessed to be the secret lover of Victor’s wife, Enebong, and that both of them planned to kill the deceased.

Pastor Udoka denied involvement in the murder and said he has been a family friend to the Isonguyos.

According to him, “She called me and told me that the husband is missing. I was shocked when she brought a car as a seed for God to bring the man back. I have not been to church since March.”
“I have been a family pastor to them. I used to bring the children from school and the woman would give me ATM card to take care of the poultry. This car is a gift brought to bring the man back. She said I should used the car to sow seed in the church I attend to bring the man back. I don’t have any affair with her.”

Wife of the victim, Enebong who is heavily pregnant said she reported to the police three days after her husband did not return home.
Enebong aged 39 said her husband complained of burning sensation in the stomach but refused to allow her take him to the hospital.

“After a meal, he said something he has burning sensation that he cannot manage till the next day. I asked to drive him but he said no and left at about 10:45pm. My family members said I should not raise alarm.”

“My husband told me the car was a gift that goes with the promotion. I didn’t know it was an official car. I called the Pastor and gave him the car.”
Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo said the suspects would soon be charged to court.
