The Osun State Police Command has confirmed the fatal stabbing of a Bishop, Sina Olaribigbe, allegedly by a jealous husband who suspected him of having an affair with his wife.
Olaribigbe was Bishop of Rapture Empowerment International, Oshogbo, Osun State.
CSP Yemisi Opalola, the command’s spokesperson, disclosed the incident on Thursday in Osogbo.
According to Opalola, the tragic event occurred when the husband found the bishop at his estranged wife’s residence and acted out of suspicion and rage.
“The couple are not living together, though they are not legally separated,” Opalola explained.

“The bishop had been intervening in their marital disputes, and on this occasion, he was at the wife’s house when the estranged husband arrived.
“The husband probably believed the bishop was having an affair with his wife. He acted out of rage and stabbed the pastor multiple times, killing him instantly,” she said.
Opalola confirmed that the suspect is now in police custody, while the pastor’s body has been deposited at the morgue.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that the suspect’s wife is a member of the deceased pastor’s church, where she served as an interpreter.
Further investigations into the incident are ongoing.
