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, LeadershipNg 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 prophecies.
