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, Leadership, reports that the couple, members of a popular
Pentecostal church in the area, were angry after 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.
