of the woman and her daughter were recovered alongside that of the third

that of those who knew about the scandal.The suspect, Pastor Okoroafor, who was
reluctant to respond to questions put to him by newsmen, said he was tempted by
the devil.“I don’t know what came over me. It was the handiwork of the devil.
I am just
begging for forgiveness from the families,” he said.According to the police,
“We discovered that the pastor was having an amorous affair with one of the
deceased, Uloma. “The Pastor manipulated thetwo women on the 10th of December
by first luringConcila to an uncompleted building and killed her there.
“After
strangulating the late Concilia, he then took Uloma with Christabel in a
tricycle to an isolated farm at Igberu road and gruesomely murdered her in the
surrounding overgrown Bush with the baby strapped to her back.
“She was
suffocated with the wrapper she used in strapping the baby to her back.”Police
say the suspect will be charged to court next week, and that his church, located
