A Catechist from St. Martins Parish, Mbape in Adikpo deanery, the Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State is said to be currently at large following the death of a lady suspected to be her lover.
The catechist, identified as Oliver Vershima, was said to have fled after he was caught with the corpse of the lady.
A resident of the community, who identified himself simply as Terhemba, told journalists on Tuesday that the incident happened last Saturday. Terhemba said, “On questioning him, it was discovered that he had impregnated the lady and they tried to terminate the pregnancy but in the process, the lady lost her life early hours of the day .“To conceal this, the catechist hid the corpse inside his room until night so he could take the body out of the village and possibly run away.
He said though the lady’s identity was yet to be ascertained, it was believed that she was from a neighbouring community.
