An Osun State-based clergy, Bishop Shina Olaribigbe of Rapture Empowerment International, Osogbo, was in the early hours of Thursday sta.bbed to de.ath while settling a fight between a couple
Although details about the couple involved were not immediately available, security sources hinted to Punch correspondent that the woman fighting her husband was attending Olaribigbe’s church located around BCGA Area, where she served as an interpreter.
The couple had a history of incessant fights, which made them live apart, even though they were not officially divorced.
The cause of the latest fight was however not known, but the late Olaribigbe, it was learnt, always mediated in their fights.
It was also gathered that the husband had gone to his wife’s residence in the early hours of Thursday and met Olaribigbe in the room, which infuriated him.
A source who attends Olaribigbe’s church, and craved anonymity for security reasons, admitted to Punch correspondent that, “It was in that anger that the man took a knife and sta.bbed the clergy in the chest. He died immediately. Olaribigbe had gone to the house to see the woman, who had been sick for some time.
“The man and his wife were immediately arrested and taken to the Dugbe Police Division in Osogbo, where they are currently being detained.
“The remains of Olaribigbe had been deposited at the morgue of UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.”
While speaking with our correspondent, the Osun Police Command Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident.
