End time is already here, The Pastor
and the General Overseer of the Victory Pentecostal Church located in Mbaitoli
Local Government Area of Imo State, Pastor Mark Chukwudi Etiti, has been
arrested by the state police command for allegedly butchering his banker wife,
Perpetua Udoka, to death. See photo after the cut. Please note Graphic photo, Viewer discretion is advised
According to reports, Etiti an
indigene of Agwa in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo state, is a secondary
school dropout and was a wheelbarrow pusher before he got the 'call', had
allegedly deceived Udoka into marrying him after she went to him to seek God's
intervention over whom to choose out of three suitors who wanted to marry her
including a medical doctor, a fellow banker and a public servant. But Etiti
told her that none of them was the
chosen one for her except himself, and she ended up marrying him.
According to reports, the Udoka’s
family was not particularly happy about the union considering Pastor Mark’s
educational background and social status but she stood her ground by telling
them he was God's choice for her, not knowing that the man she loved and got
married to would turn round to be her killer.
This is an account of a close relative of the murdered woman:
"Unknown to Udoka, the biggest
attraction was her lucrative career at the time. Just within a space of twenty
months, a car was bought, a landed property and a shop was paid for all in the
name of the husband Pastor Mark Chukwudi Etiti.
Udoka built a house for her Pastor
husband on bank loan. She did a lot both for the husband’s family and the
husband himself on loans including borrowing money on behalf of the husband to
the extent that repayments become a serious challenge and she ultimately lost
the bank job.
It became a pitiable situation better
imagined, after she lost her job. Udoka became a punching bag. On many
occasions, the mother in-law will come all the way from the village to order
Udoka out of the very house she built.
Udoka had sustained various degrees
of injuries inflicted on her by the same husband she picked from the gutters.
She was hospitalized severally. The mother in-law had once threatened that it
is either Udoka leaves the son alive or the deceased body will be carted away
like nobody and her threat came to pass after all.
Udoka’s thirteen year old daughter
had once reported to the police of how the father had beaten the mum to stupor
on the fear that the mum was dead.
The first brutal cutlass injuries on
Udoka was recorded in 2013. This time,
Udoka’s family thought it was indeed enough. The matter was formally taken to
the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Nigerian Police in Owerri,
who documented the evidences, detained the pastor and later released him.
The family had actually concluded
plans to forcefully relocate her and her children after so many refusals from
her before the brutal murder of Udoka by the same man who she gave three
beautiful children."
This is also an account by the couple's teenage daughter:
"On that faithful day, my mummy
in her usual manner, woke up around 5.00am, got us ready for school, gave us
our food, asked me to take my younger sister to her school and return the key
to her in the church, while she left for our church early morning prayer
session.
I finished dressing up and told my
daddy who was in his room that I’m off to school. He asked me to lock the gate
to our house from outside and I asked why and he shouted me down. I did exactly
that and returned the key to my mum in the church. I went back to my mummy’s
shop around 1:00pm and could not meet her in the shop.
That was unusual knowing fully well
when we usually come back from school. I called her line and she was not
picking. I asked her neighbors and they said she told them my daddy called her.
I then took my siblings along to the house.
On getting to the house, every place
looked deserted. We usually access the house through the kitchen door, but that
faithful day, the kitchen door was locked. I called my dad to ask him if he has
seen mummy.
He asked me where we are and I said
we are at home and the doors were all locked.
Within 2 minutes, daddy appeared.
Unusual of daddy, he decided to follow the back door instead of the usual front
kitchen door and asked me to stay outside. I could not comprehend my father’s
body language and I quickly followed him and went straight to my mum’s room
while he made his way to his room.
The sight of flowing blood in mummy’s
room got me more frightened and when I shouted blood, my dad ran straight to
the kitchen where my mum’s body was used to block the kitchen door, the same
door my daddy strategically avoided on entering the compound.
I later saw my mum’s phone near the
kitchen window with my daddy’s 3 missed calls on the phone.
My daddy has always been chasing us
about with cutlass all the time. He has severally threatened to kill mummy and
her people won’t do anything. The last time, I thought my mummy was dead when
she was brutally beaten with cutlass by my daddy and blood was gushing like water.
I called my uncle and he was not
responding. I then went to police to report him and he was arrested. Two days
before he killed mummy, I saw him from the bathroom cutting the ceiling of our
house.
The following morning, I heard him
telling my mother that armed robbers came to the house and that they entered
through the ceiling. He was showing mummy the note he claimed they brought
which read;
“Pastor Mark becareful, this is to
tell you we can come and go”. I told mummy that I saw dad cutting that place
two days back and was not done by any armed robber. I told mummy we should go
to my aunty’s place that dad is up to something but mummy refused. Now look at
where she has brought us to. Daddy has simply fulfilled his wish and God will
judge him.”
Pastor Mark is currently cooling his
heels in detention and the state police command has vowed to do everything that
justice is served.
