A couple in Asaba, Delta State,
Benson Ogwu and his wife, who have been married for 16 years without a child,
yesterday set ablaze their Holy Bible around Bonssac quarters.
While their action attracted hundreds of
passersby, it was reliably gathered that the couple, members of a popular
Pentecostal church in the area, were angry when their high expectations of
making babies were shattered by a prophet who told them they had a delay in
having children because they were far from God.
Consequently, they claimed that God has
abandoned them, but an insider said that they were disillusioned after several prophets
told them that the Lord was totally fed up of their Christian practice.
They were said to have sought the
assistance of some native doctors, who allegedly lured them into serving his
idol popularly known as “Onishe” where they were assured they would have
children within three years.
Family sources said that the couple
was married in the Catholic Church, which they dumped afterwards for the
popular Pentecostal church where accusing fingers have been pointed to the
pastor for raising false prophesies.
