A pastor in Ughelli, Ughelli North Local Government, Area of Delta State was nearly beaten to death by angry market women for claiming he had prophesied the death of popular Nigerian prophet, TB Joshua.
The pastor who is a regular preacher at the market had gone there on Monday to carry out his usual routine, which was to preach, prophesy and invite people with special challenges for special prayers but got the beating of his life from angry market women.
According to an eyewitness, when the pastor started preaching, he was having no issue until he claimed he had prophesied about a year ago that TB Joshua was going to die prematurely because he was not a true man of God.
The witness said, “When he started preaching, nobody answered him, those interested were just listening until he began to criticize the late TB Joshua.”
He said that TB Joshua was not a true prophet and that he mentioned last year that he (TB Joshua) was going to die prematurely.
At this point, some of the women start shouting at him to preach his message and stop criticizing others, especially the dead, but instead, he continued and before you knew it, he was attacked by the market women who could no longer stand it.
But for the timely intervention of area boys who rescued him something funny could happen to the pastor.
