What could have prompted a married woman and a mother of five who is also a Christian Evangelist to break her marriage vows by engaging in an amorous liaison with a Bishop?
Well, sadly, the woman in question, Evangelist Happiness Echezie, is no longer alive to explain her action for she died in a hotel during a s*x romp with the said Bishop, one Bishop Timothy Otu.
Bishop Otu who is the General Overseer of Agape Evangelical Ministries (City of Miracles) located in Obikabia Junction Aba, Abia State, allegedly lodged with Evangelist Echezie at Jubilee Guest House, Ovom, Ogborhill, Aba, where she was later found dead.
According to Police sources, the incident happened at about 11 pm on Saturday, the 12th of August 2023.
The woman’s dead body was discovered after Bishop Otu who booked the room with her absconded after deceiving the receptionist that he was going out to buy food.
However, the Manager of the Hotel suspected foul play and subsequently lodged a report at the Eastern Ngwa Police Station in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state early Sunday morning.
When Policemen arrived at the hotel, the woman was seen lying naked with foam coming out of her mouth and nose.
It was gathered that when her phone was opened, it was discovered that the deceased who is also a member of the Agape Evangelical Ministries Incorporated founded by Bishop Timothy Otu, and the Bishop have been having romantic relationships and discussions via text messages.
Investigations revealed that the woman died during s*x with the Bishop.
Consequently, plain-clothed Policemen who disguised as Sunday worshippers traced him to his Church Sunday morning.
Bishop Otu who was preaching about repentance when the Policemen arrived was arrested immediately after his sermon and is currently detained at the Eastern Ngwa Police Station Obingwa.
The late Evangelist Happiness whose husband works in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, hailed from Umuatakawom in the Obingwa Council Area of the State.
