A self-acclaimed pastor, identified as Prophet Emmanuel has allegedly beaten his wife to coma and broken her leg. The prophet, it was gathered, also chained his son within the premises church at Berger area of the Lagos metropolis.
32 other church members who were said to have come for spiritual/mental healing, were also chained by the prophet who claimed to have healing powers.
The case however took a dramatic turn yesterday when senior police officer handling the case at Surulere Police Station said the man had been released based on the denial of the wife and his sons, who did not want their father to be jailed for domestic violence.
The officer said, truly her leg was broken and there were scars on the wife's face, signifying that she was truly attacked, the force however ran into difficulties when the woman denied that she was not beaten by her husband, with a claim that she had an accident.
