A woman in Nigeria is in critical condition in hospital after being stabbed by a pastor on fire during a church service.
The minister later stated to the police that he did so on behalf of God.
According to the police report, the incident occurred last Sunday in the Celestial Church of Christ in Lagos during the morning Mass. The priest had told churchgoers that God had instructed him a Mrs Bosede, who stabbing herself a month ago had joined the church on fire to show his strength. According to the pastor, God had assured him that the woman could not get hurt.
Scream
He Bosede doused with gasoline and lit it. Then the woman began to scream in pain, shots other church members to help and extinguished the fire with water. With severe burns, she was transported to a local hospital where she was listed in critical condition in intensive care.
The pastor told the police that he does not understand why it went wrong because God had told him that the woman would not suffer. He gets support from church members who declare that the Bosede sins have ensured that they burned and that the pastor has done nothing wrong. The church leader has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.
