According to reports, pastor Emeka started dating Chioma Okoye 5 years ago and they got engaged in 2020 and started planning their wedding.
However, Chioma, 32, became pregnant while wedding plans were underway but the pastor rejected the pregnancy, allegedly claiming it would damage his reputation.
The family of the deceased alleged that the Pastor drugged Chioma’s drink and took her to the hospital asking the doctor to terminate the pregnancy.
The doctor is said to have refused but the pastor allegedly insisted.
Unfortunately, Chioma reportedly started vomiting blood during the procedure and reportedly died before her family could intervene.
Wilfred Okoye, in the family statement, said, the autopsy showed the pastor tried to perform the abortion while she was unconscious before taking her to the hospital after his technique failed.
Despite her death, Chioma’s family made the pastor marry her corpse before her funeral.
She was buried on Tuesday, August 31 in Umuahia, Abia.

I hope the doctor and the so called pastor will be arrested. Marriage is not the solution to this!
ReplyDeleteMy exact sentiments...
DeleteThank u. I am shocked that this is what the family finds important. Putting Mrs on the poster. Na wah for some families.
DeleteMy sentiments too.Marriage to the corpse is not enough punishment,they should face the law.Yeye Pastor,why is Pastor still being added to the devil's name?
DeleteI am yet to see any place we're they wrote that he was arrested and charged.. the family is more concerned about the marriage or bride price and items? I no get.
DeleteI am yet to see any place were they wrote that he was arrested and charged.. the family is more concerned about the marriage or bride price and items? I no get.
DeleteThey only wanted him to marry the corpse so that they don’t feel shamed that the girl from their family got pregnant outside wedlock.. it’s not because they actually care about the dead girl.
DeleteThat man should have been arrested immediately and charged for second degree murder because he did not set out to kill the girl. He should be facing the long arms of the law not marrying a corpse then going out to preach again... what’s that about. Him preaching should be confined to the walls of the prison finish.
The girl’s family are totally hopeless. If she was alive she’d be ashamed of them that they did not fight for justice. I bet I’m their minds they are all actually thinking ... who sent her to be sleeping with the man
The Dr. And Pastor should be arrested. He did not want the evidence of his sexcapade public view
DeleteThey're only after the marriage rites. They'll eat and clean mouth
DeleteAll of you sound like this because you dont know what it takes to "marry" a corpse in Igbo land. Many men run mad and commit suicide after the tormenting experience. You will beg to be sent to jail instead. It is a horrible ritual. Its not a normal marriage as you all think.
DeleteAluuuu. Abomination
DeleteThe shame he was running from, caught up with him unexpectedly.
DeleteThe goat should still be prosecuted by the law
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteYour church doesn't wed with pregnancy, but you were busy having premarital sex as a pastor. To a point of trying to abort her pregnancy by yourself. Funny enough, I read the family saying, he still preaching and going to different churches to preach
ReplyDelete8:42 for real. Thean is still preaching.. Wow.
DeleteLovelace
Good for him, end time pastor
ReplyDeleteYes good for him
DeleteFake pastors everywhere, I pity people who still patronise this churches
ReplyDeleteThem go gree?
DeleteOthers can do it and go free. When the devil know you are carrying Bible, he will disgrace you. RIP to the dead. May no one force us to our untimely death.
ReplyDeleteVery true. The devil wanted to make a scapegoat of him
DeleteMtcheeeeew rubbish talk.
DeleteSo you believe it only happens to people carrying bibles, this na every day news.
Its only making headlines because hes a "Pastor" we hear such regularly
DeleteHow do they force someone to marry a corpse? What if they mandated him to come and he didn't or he changed address, would police be used to arrest him and forced to perform the marital rites?
DeleteBianca, they will use juju to deal with him if he tries to escape the marriage by crook
DeleteAnd they still refer to him as "Pastor" Wjo is he pastoring for goodness sake??
ReplyDeleteHes a Pastor.... just a promiscuous one. Just like we have careless and immoral doctors, the title shouldnt be stripped off after he commits an offence.
DeleteWhy won't the title be stripped off from him. I blame the parents of the lady who refused to report the issue to the appropriate authorities.
DeleteSee the way you just dismissed the atrocities done by the man as been promiscuous. Any professional found wanting by the law and case prosecuted to a logical conclusion can be stripped of their title. This also includes the clergy. As na Nigeria we dey,anybody can answer pastor..
Lovelace
Fake pastors all over
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! How wicked of him to do such, now between having a child out of wedlock and committing double murder and facing a life time disgrace which is better? He was so concerned about his reputation as a 'pastor' but not so concerned about his reputation before God. This is so sad and unbelievable
ReplyDeleteLas, las, the reputation kaput!
DeleteWicked man, good for him.
ReplyDeleteHe should be thrown in jail.
He just got served
ReplyDeleteRIP to Chioma
I pray other fake pastors will learn from this.....
Pastor Isonu.
ReplyDeleteWhether he marries her here and in the afterlife, he still needs to be prosecuted. Na kill he kill that girl. Simple
ReplyDeleteRIP Chioma.
ReplyDeleteWicked man, he will still marry another lady.
You will be surprised how the new wife will be dancing on her wedding day. No pastor should come and preach for me. I will connect with God myself, I'm also his child.
DeleteThis is sad
ReplyDeleteMan of God why na????
ReplyDeleteMan of God why na????
ReplyDeleteMan of God why na????
ReplyDeletePastor having premarital sex???
ReplyDeleteE shock you?
DeleteBut instead of the family to prosecute him they were more interested in her dying as Mrs. I find this as an insult to the woman’s memory. Married to ur murderer after death. See how his name was put boldly and with pride on the announcement. What is wrong with we Nigerians I beg?? These are the things important for us?? Suwah!!
ReplyDeleteIt made me annoyed honestly.
DeleteMoney no de come out from prosecution na, they will even spend hiring a lawyer and all.... waste of time and money, they need the bride price
DeleteRev Dr. Indeed,he should have thought of his reputation before engaging in premarital sex. He should be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteHe did not think of his reputation before doing the do. Fake pastor, reputation kill you there. He should be persecuted...
ReplyDeleteThis is a murder case and should be handled as such.
ReplyDeletepastor my foot.
But whatever did the late girl see in that thing up there? Thing looks like a well fed pig. Hiaa!!
ReplyDeleteRIP to the dead and may the Nigerian police drop their laziness and incompetence for onece and arrest mr. Piggy and the quack dr.
😄 chisom maybe he isn't not photogenic na.
DeleteOn the real tho, I'm just thinking of other atrocities this man would have committed that people don't know of.
@Convince me, you think it has to do with it not being photogenic? Hmmm! I seriously doubt it.
DeleteLol nah I'm just being sarcastic. I understand the disgust you mean.
DeleteHis reputation is damaged completely, wicked pastor.
ReplyDeletePastor indeed..so sad.people need to be careful with these so called pastors.
ReplyDeletewickedness
ReplyDeleteNah wah ooo. I'm sure God is tired of the wickedness of dis world.
ReplyDeleteWicked pastor dat is more concerned about his reputation. Had I known is what will be ringing his heart now.
He should be prosecuted
ReplyDeleteEnd time hypocritical pastar
May her soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteWicked man.He should be jailed,marrying her corpse isn't the punishment.
ReplyDeleteTueh! End time pastor. May Chioma's soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteWicked man.He should be jailed, marrying her corpse isn't enough punishment.
ReplyDeleteDaddy G.O, what are you preaching to your sheeples?
ReplyDeleteAfter all the stress of being a graduate in Nigeria, everything is gone now.
May God rest her soul.
As for the church, the should start from closing it permanently and the daddy G.O made to dance to his songs
May her soul rest in perfect peace
ReplyDeleteNawa oooo
ReplyDeleteThis man should be in jail. He and the Doctor. I'm shocked at this their verdict that marrying the corpse alone is it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the family's plan towards the pastor is but his marrying the corpse does not prevent them from prosecuting him.
ReplyDeleteI see some comments asking why the family made the man to marry the deceased corpse, I don't think is solely a case of them wanting the BP. It's a custom( I stand to be corrected though) in some part of Imo state for a man to marry any female he directly or indirectly contributed to her death. Especially if the said lady is up to the marriagable age. I have heard cases of men marrying the corpse of ladies they hit with their car, okada, Keke etc. Some that were living in concubinage, the lady died while giving birth, the deceased family still insists on the man to marry the corpse "in full" before the funeral can take place. I heard if this isn't done, the dead woman can't be buried.
As I said earlier, I'm not sure of this assertion, it's just some thing I have heard over time. Imo state BVs can throw more light on this.
Rest in Peace Chioma. Your life shouldn't have ended like this but for this 'winch' of a pastor.
