A lady died on Monday after drinking power water allegedly given to her by a pastor at Ajegunle area of Mpape, Abuja.
According
to a resident of the area, the deceased and her friend had gone to the
house of the pastor who is known to be able to cure many diseases with
his power water that morning. When they got there, the pastor gave them
the power water to drink. The deceased drank first and then gave the
remaining to her friend who also drank.
"As soon as she drank, her eyes started bulging; she started vomiting blood and died instantly," the source said.
Confirming
the incident, the Mpape Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent
Abayomi Surajudeen said the case has been transferred to FCT criminal
investigation department. At the FCT
criminal department, Police spokesperson, Deputy Superintendent Hyelhira
Altine Daniel, said it is true that a lady died after drinking holy
water popularly known as power water given to her by the pastor but
added that it cannot be ascertained that the lady actually died from
drinking the water because her friend also drank the same water and
she's still alive.
He said it would
be unfair to accuse the pastor for the death as the lady left the
pastor's house hale and hearty, only to get home and start complaining
of stomach ache and she died before she could be rushed to the hospital.
According to him, the ladies may have branched somewhere and eaten something else while returning from the pastor’s house.
He however said they are investigating the allegation and that the findings would be made public when concluded.
