”It was this Ella Ayoola that lured the pastor in the guise of coming to her house to help her pray for her new house. On arrival, the husband and four other friends came out from the bush and started beating the said Adejumola who at the end of the day after beating him, they stripped him naked, videoed him, threatening him, after withdrawing a total of N800, 000 from his two accounts”

 

According to the couple, the pastor had made passes at the wife which is why they decided to teach him a lesson. The husband said

”I have already warned the pastor twice. When they told me that the man is still after her again the third time, I said I need to teach the man a lesson for him to know that what he is doing as a pastor is not good”
