Tears, curses as husband buries slain wife

Published by

It was tears and curses on Thursday at Okpuno-Etiti, Oba community in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State during the funeral service of late Mrs. Nkechi Juliet Onyejegbu who was brutally murdered inside her compound at Oba.

She was hacked to death with machete on Saturday, November 6, 2015 by unknown persons suspected to be her husband’s maternal relations.

Until her assassination,  late Mrs Onyejegbu was the wife of Colonel Godfrey Onyejegbu, a retired military officer attached to United States, US Army, as well as the Director of Women Affairs at the Idemili South Local Government Area Chapter of Governor Willie Obiano Support Group, WOSG.

Many people wept as she was lowered into the grave at about 1.00p.m. in her husband’s compound, Oba, shortly after a funeral church service by officiating ministers from the Pentecostal Truth Mission, PTM, Nnewi and the Great Army Intercessors Ministry.

In his sermon, Evangelist Charles Obiagbaoso of the PTM warned that the wrath of God must surely visit her killers, unless they confess their sins and repent, adding that anyone committing such a heinous crime must bear in mind that judgement of God was awaiting them.

Quoting a version of scriptures which states that “Only a fool says that there is no God”, Obiagbaoso insisted that anyone indulging in crime is indirectly saying that there is no God, like the fool said.
