Police in Benin are investigating the murder of Victor Nsongbuny, a
Deputy Manager attached to Nigeria Petroleum Development Company
NPDC, Benin City, who was allegedly murdered by his wife and her pastor
boy friend on Friday.
The deceased was recently promoted
to Deputy Manager in the company and was due to retire from service next
year before he met his death.
It was learnt that the deceased and his wife had been having issues
with the paternity of their children after the deceased suspected the
wife was having an extra-marital affair with the pastor.
The
deceased was said to have visited home to complain to both his family
and that of his wife, after suspecting that the current pregnancy the
wife is carrying was not for him
It was learnt that an arrangement to carry out a DNA test on the
child resulting from the pregnancy infuriated the woman, and hence the
plot to kill the husband.
On Friday October 22, 2013, the deceased came home after work when
the suspected killers came. After allegedly committing the dastardly
act, they took the mutilated body into one of his old cars and drove to
Sapele Road.
The car, with the body of the NPDC Manager in it, was set ablaze.
On Monday October 25, the wife was said to have gone to the deceased’s office to report that her husband was missing.
But apparently after visiting the husband’s office, she went straight to the bank and withdrew N4 milion from his account.
The woman also went to the police to report the incident.
However, staff of NDDC were informed that people observed a burnt car
somewhere along Sapele Road. They rushed to the scene and found it was
the late Nsongbunyo’s car.
They went back to the deceased’s wife to
inform her of the situation but found her sitting comfortably at home
watching television.
That was when the police started suspecting her.
However, detectives intensified search for the deceased car which was given to him by the company, following his promotion.
The car was tracked to a compound at Ekenwan road, Benin City.
A lady was accosted by detectives in the compound and she confessed
that the car was packed by a pastor that lived in the compound.
When
the pastor came out, detectives observed burns in his left hand and
face. The pastor disclosed that one of his daughters in the church sowed
a seed with the car. The duo were arrested immediately and are
currently being investigated by detectives at the Police Command in Edo
State.
