Shai Gobe! Pastor Forced To Marry The Corpse of A Lady He Impregnated In Akwa Ibom

Chai! Secret things have a way of exposing you one day. One pastor Augustine Mendie, in Eket area of Akwa Ibom State, who reportedly impregnated a female member of his church and tried to procure abortion for her, has been allegedly made to marry her corpse, after she died in the process.

According to reports, Pastor Mendie, the General Overseer of a Pentecostal church in the area, is married with children.

Reports allege that he is a ‘randy man who sleeps with many ladies in his church, both married and single, till he got his fingers burnt.’

The lady was said to be among the praise and worship ladies in the church. No one in the church knew what was going on between them until the lady took in and informed the pastor.

The pastor, who allegedly did not want to take responsibility, decided to procure an abortion for her. The lady who had earlier confided in her friend about the development lost her life in the process.

Trouble struck when the said friend told the family of the deceased that the pastor was responsible.

The pastor initially tried to deny responsibility but after he was threatened with the community’s deity, he was said to have agreed that he was actually the one responsible and was ready to appease the gods.

According to the report, Pastor Mendie was made to marry the lady's corpse as their tradition demands.
