Recently, tragedy struck a church in Benin, Hope Ministry also known as Holy Ghost Deliverance Centre, when a 45-year-old man, Osayande Ekhator, died during a deliverance session at the Pentecostal church.
Osayande Ekhator was said to be suffering from an undisclosed ailment and had indicated interest to take part in the spiritual exercise where he eventually met his death.
The father of the deceased, Pa Ekhator, said he knew that the deliverance session had gone wrong when his late son was thrown to the ground, with his hands and legs tied.
“They tied him up and threw him to the ground. Then, they poured a bucket of water on his body. When his mother queried the action, they said that was the usual practice. Then, they said they wanted him to rest; but after about five minutes she came out crying that Osayande was dead,” he told Punch.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Stephen Onwochei, said the pastor had been arrested.
