Heart-Wrenching News As Winners Church Worker Commits Suicide In Benin City

A man rumoured to be the Pastor walked into The Living Faith Church, popularly known as Winners Cha­pel and allegedly committed sui­cide in Benin over inability to pay house rent.

In Benin, such acts normally attracts the attention of the Oba Palace and the family of the pastor was yesterday visited by palace representatives demanding answers. Restrictions were put in place by the palace who would normally demand certain traditional rights be made before any further movement by the family but as we know, The Church is not bound by The traditional council and so they defiled the orders and normal church activities continued. 

Speaking, a leader of the pal­ace Rep. said: ‘’The gathering would not have been necessary if the leadership of the church had done the needful as required in Benin tradition.’’

The Ewaise said that the anger of the palace was that the church fragrantly removed a sign placed on the building by palace func­tionaries signifying an alleged abominable act committed by a church worker, adding that as a matter of urgency, the leadership of the church needs to visit the palace to ask for items needed to appeal the gods. Sources in the church dis­closed that the deceased is not a pastor as speculated.
