Nigerian Pastor, Evangelist Accused Of Burying Brother Wood In Nnewi Anambra Says He Left Him In Mortuary Dryer
Ikechukwu Nwosu, Assemblies Of God Pastor, Evangelist Accused Of Burying Brother’s Wood In Nnewi Anambra Says He Left Him In Mortuary Dryer For Over 2 Years
Evangelist Ikechukwu Nwosu has finally denied using his younger brother Sunday Nwosu for money ritual.
In this interview with Mazinwosu TV, Evangelist IK said he spent almost 400 thousand naira to keep Sunday in the mortuary for several years.
When investigative reporter Mazi asked him why he kept him in the mortuary for so long, the Evangelist could not give a straightforward answer.
He claimed that the wooden sculpture is that of his brother that was kept in an open air at the mortuary for over 2 years.
Residents of Nnewi in Anabra state are now calling on the Igwe of the town to ask Evangelist Ikechukwu to exhume the body of his late brother in order to confirm his claims.
Hear what the sister who discovered the wood told Mazinwosu TV.

This is all about family feud,the unfortunate part of it is all of them are claiming born again, however, the man in question made a huge mistake in keeping the dead body too long in that drier home called mortuary.
In addition, this is high time people should stop wasting time and money in burying anyone who died in the name of tradition or culture,especially my Igbo people, unless in exceptional cases.

The story is now making sense. So they kept the guy in the mortuary this long. It is wrong.
Assemblies of God church don’t keep corpse more than 6 months. I think he used him for ritual

The interviewer , MaziNwosu did a great job in unraveling the truth in this baseless and unsubstantiated wild claim by the sister of the accused.
In summary, the sister said she was nursing and caring for their bedridden brother for over 2 years before he died in January 2016.
She further said she informed her evangelist brother, Mr Ikechukwu Nwosu that their brother has passed on, she said, she also asked him to call people and bury him immediately, since the deceased has no children and his death is not in dispute.
She further said that evangelist Ikechukwu refused to listen to her advice to bury their, even if it’s only PURE water they have, they should offer to their sympathizers and guests.
Evangelist, Ikechukwu on his part said, due to financial constraints, he deposited his late brother in mortuary until such a time, he was able to give him a befitting burial.
He provided a mortuary receipt that proved that the corpse was in the mortuary for over a thousand days. He also provided ambulance receipt that shows that his dead brother was conveyed from the mortuary straight to their home for burial.
He also presented the invitation he distributed for the funeral, from the investigation, his maternal kinsmen accompanied him to mortuary straight to their home where they themselves, physically covered the corpse with clothes according to their custom before it was buried.
From the investigation, the mortuary where the corpse of their brother was deposited, used another corpse in their mortuary that has also been deposited there for about 3 years as a proof that when a dead body is left in the mortuary for so long, it dries up like wood and becomes paper weight.
From the investigation, there’s no single foul play by evangelist Ikechukwu, there was also no reason to assume ritualistic intent unless a case of ignorance perhaps, sheer confusion or attempt at mischief by an unhinged sister.
