Explosion: Anglican priest injured, lover dies

A reverend with Awka Anglican Diocese in Anambra State (name withheld) was yesterday escaped death by a whisker when a cooking gas exploded in his alleged lover’s house. 

The incident occurred at Allen Avenue in Awka largely inhabited by students.
The said lover reportedly died in the fire but the reverend father was flown abroad for medical treatment.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a resident of the area said the priest’s girlfriend died in the inferno while the reverend father sustained high degree of burnt.
He said: “The reverend father’s relative is a friend and he did not say anything different from what you have said. The girl died on the spot but the priest was hurriedly smuggled away and we heard that he has been flown abroad, apparently to cover traces.
Are there no hospitals in Nigeria? “I have told them to stop covering this story. What do they want to achieve by hiding this story. The truth should be told and shame the devil.” Another person, however, said the priest was involved in the inferno while trying to save a life.https://newtelegraphonline.com/explosion-anglican-priest-injured-lover-dies/
