This is the wicked and chilling story of a pastor who killed his wife over practically no issue.
The story which was narrated by one Chris Anyanwu, shows how horrible some some people can be.
Read Anyanwu’s account below:
**************************
The story of Pastor Mark and his
unfortunate wife Perpetua Udoka dates back to February 2000. Udoka who
commenced a bright career in banking in a small town called Ogbaku near
Owerri in Imo State innocently confided in a brother in the church who
incidentally was the leader of the prayer squad of their local church at
a time.
She solicited for the face of God
concerning her proposals from three suitors who were seriously asking
for her hand in marriage, a medical doctor, a fellow banker and a public
servant. Her genuine intention was for this brother to join hands with
her to seek for God’s intervention to enable her make the very best of
decision. Unknown to her, she had just had a date with the very devil
she’s intending to avoid.
Pastor Mark who was supposedly expected
to hear from God for onward transmission to Udoka could not help but
fraudulently take advantage of the situation. In his criminal revelation
to sister Udoka who waited earnestly for the solemn voice of God, he
quietly muted in such a shameless display of authority weeks after that God has changed everything.
quietly muted in such a shameless display of authority weeks after that God has changed everything.
“Initially, the banker was the one, but
God has seen that marrying him won’t allow you serve him the way he
wants you to and so he changed it.” he said.
Who then is the one? Your curiosity is
as high as mine. In his tactical measure of deceit, summoning the guts
and clearing the air to weed off suspicion, he replied “I’m sure it will
be difficult for you to accept, but certainly God has spoken” I’m the
one.
For Udoka’s family, it was a no no
particularly considering pastor Mark’s educational background and social
status. What does the young man do for a living? How does he intend to
sustain a family, How will he cope with the family members and all sort
of questions made the choice process a herculean task for Udoka. But for
her, since God has supposedly spoken, she would be sure she’s making
the right choice and to cut the long story short, her families were
convinced. They all came out supported and fully sponsored the wedding
ceremony.
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 bitten the mum to stupor on the fear
that the mum was dead.
The first brutal cutlass injuries on
Udoka were 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 has 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.
One of their daughter, talking about the
murder said: “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 mother does not owe anybody. My mum
does not have any problem with anybody. 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 the entered through
the ceiling. He was showing mummy the note he claimed they brought
which read “Pastor Mark be careful, 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 anti’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,” she laments.
Answering to the Imo state Police
Command who has gathered all their evidences and have charge him to
court, the unrepentant pastor murderer insisted that nobody can ever
tolerate his kind of wife. According to him, he said he’s not sure any
super man can live with his wife for the number of years he did.
Pastor Mark who is cooling off in the
prison and waiting for the judgment day is known for machete violence.
He consistently boasted of how he had chopped off somebody’s arm back in
his village for insulting the mother. He severally inflicted cutlass
injuries on the late father’s body and has constantly chased his sister
away from the house with cutlass. Like the proverbial saying that he
that kills with cutlass shall die through the cutlass, will that be
Pastor Mark Chukwudi Etiti’s lot. This is left to the Nigeria Judicial
system and the Nigeria Police.
