A popular white garment church pastor identified as Solomon is undergoing interrogation at the Owutu police station over allegations that he connived with his mother and brothers to inflict grievous injury on his wife, Sukura.

A mother and her son tortured their housemaids with hot iron.

A pastor in Ikorodu, along with his siblings allegedly poured ground pepper into Sukura’s vagina and also inserted a Coca-Cola bottle over an allegation that she had committed adultery.

“Pastor Solomon runs a white garment church in his house. He lives there with his family including his wife and mother. He has been married to Sukura for a long time but she has not given birth. Trouble started when Sukura came home and she was asked where she had been and in that process confronted her mother-in-law,” a source said.

Sukura was reported to have gone insane as a result of the cruel torture she received from her husband and his family before her family came and reported the case to the police.

The spokesman for the Lagos state police command, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.

“Owutu is handling the case with such allegations amidst denials and accusations from both parties. Investigations are on to ascertain what actually transpired and whoever is found to have acted violently will be dealt with according to law,” he said.
