Rivers Pastor Arrested For Allegedly Killing Wife

Pastor of Shalom Mercy Ministry based in Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chris Amadi, is now in police custody after he allegedly strangled his 30–year old wife, Solution to death.
Amadi had allegedly attempted to run away after he committed the murder, but he was arrested.
Family sources told journalists that the incident happened, last Tuesday, in their home at Mbodo Community, Aluu, after a disagreement over fees payment in his wife’s school, Solution International School, named after her.
The school was reportedly established by the late Solution before her marriage to the pastor in 2012.
According to reports, trouble started when Solution confronted Amadi on why he drove some pupils of her school away from the classroom over failure to pay their school fees without first checking their records with her.
Solution’s elder brother, Odinaka Opurum, said his now deceased sister felt embarrassed when the affected parents started calling to complain about her husband’s action.
“The husband went to the school (Tuesday, November, 9) and started driving pupils away for allegedly failing to pay school fees.
“When parents now called the wife to ask why she drove their kids away even after paying, she appealed that they should not be angry, and that she will find out from her husband.
“When she got to the house, they started quarrelling again, and the husband started beating her. He then started to strangle her to the point that she collapsed and became unconscious.
“When he saw that she was no longer breathing, he rushed her to a clinic close to their house; the clinic confirmed her dead and referred him to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) to be sure.
“Instead of taking her to UPTH as they advised, he took her to the house, covered her with wrapper, packed some clothes in a bag, locked all the doors, and attempted to run away.”
Opurum also said that the incident was not the first time that Amadi would beat his sister.
He said it has been recurring and his sister, out of love and as the marriage counsellor in their church, decided to endure in order not to set a bad example for young girls.
Her family is currently seeking justice.
The marriage between the Amadi and Solution, which was solemnised in 2012, was blessed with children, two boys and two girls.
Various sources in their neighbourhood confirmed the incident.
But at the time of filing this report, the Rivers Police Command had not issued a press statement on the matter.
