Police operatives in Osun State have arrested a man over the death of a pastor, Mr. Sina Olaribigbe, in the state.
The suspect allegedly stabbed the pastor to death over suspicion he was having an affair with his wife.
The woman is an interpreter in the deceased’s church.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident to journalists on Thursday in Osogbo.
She said the husband met the pastor in his wife’s house and allegedly stabbed him because he believed they were having an affair.

“The husband probably believed the pastor was having an affair with his wife.
“The husband was reported to have acted out of rage and stabbed the pastor multiple times, thereby killing him instantly.
“The suspect is in custody while the pastor’s corpse has been deposited at the morgue.”
