ONE week after the police in Adamawa State detained two Pentecostal pastors in connection with alleged infidelity leading to bearing of two children, another female evangelist, Kwanye Tumba, has dragged the Pastor of House Chapel in Karewa, Yola North LGA of the state to Criminal Area Court II for alleged refusal to marry her.

Evangelist Kwanye told Honourable Nuhu Musa Garta-led court that the 28-year-old pastor, Marwa Tumba, had promised to marry her, but dumped her for another girl after squandering her hard earned money and wasted her life.

She told the court that she first met the man of God after a prayer meeting at Yolde Pate, a suburb of Yola South LGA in 2019, during which he told her that he saw a vision that she got a husband.

According to her, Pastor Marwa informed her that she is now his wife and immediately he asked her to start “sowing a seed”.

Explaining that she started “sowing a seed” as requested by the pastor by giving him the sum of N1,000.

She said that the man sometimes later visited her in her apartment which she built when she was working with a non-governmental organisation, adding that she welcomed him, cooked food for him and from there, they started their relationship with a promise that he would marry her as seen in the vision.

Evangelist Kwanye narrated that her pastor boyfriend later told her to resign from her job and sell her house before getting married, and that she agreed and tendered her resignation letter and sold the house at #500,000.

According to her, when the money of the house was paid to her, she immediately transferred the sum of #50,000 as tithe into the of the pastor and used the remaining money to the church from time to time until all the money got finished.

She told the court that it got to a time that he asked her to give him the list of all items as provided by tradition for their marriage, which she did.

The complainant told the court that the last thing he did was to ask her to go to her parents in Michika and wait for him, promising to her later for a proper introduction and arrangement for marriage.

She added that she spent many days in the village without him coming to do introduction as he promised, saying when her parents discovered that it was a lie, they asked her to leave their house.

According to her, since then, he was no longer picking her calls again and when she got tired and became disappointed, she left Michika to Yola.

The lady stated that to her utter dismay, she could not trace the whereabouts of Pastor Marwa again.

She lamented that he abandoned her after he chopped her money, made her quit her job, sold her only house, and became miserable, saying that she currently lives in one uncompleted building in Yolde Pate and sells vegetables to earn a living.

But when the statement of the complaint was read to the defendant upon his arraignment in court on Monday, the man of God denied the claims.

Thereafter, his counsel, M. A. Mohammed, pleaded with the court to grant bail to his client, which the court did as prayed and subsequently adjourned the matter till February 4, 2021 to enable the complainant to assemble her witnesses to prove her case.

At court session on Tuesday, Pastor Marwa was seen with another lady, who The PUNCH, gathered the pastor had engaged.

What Nigerian men don't understand is that if you promise to marry a woman and you don't, the woman can sue you to court.

In Nigeria, a promise to marry is a legally binding contract and contrary to what you think, she can institute a civil suit against you, win and be awarded monetary damages.

But how it became a criminal case here is somehow maybe due to the financial investment involved

The fvck

Niggarr!!

That's one fake pastor there, he played that lady right from the start and she fell for it.

The lady is dumb, she deserved what she got.

I said what I said.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright......
Imagine....which kind format and tools we go call this one now


Women and their gullibility...whether young or old

They can easily be coaxed, hypnotized and manipulated
That is why bombing and street will remain till the end of time

well the woman knows her right
marriage is not a joking matter

Normally, love can make a woman go blind and do many foolish things for a man. Added to the fact that they both claimed they saw it in a vision they were getting married.

Pastor Marwa has a serious case to answer.

She never jam.

Make she come marry me Sha but I dey charge well and my subscription na yearly o.

Most women are architect of their own problem. They take the ones that love them for granted and end up with the bad ones or moving from one mountain to another in search of husband therefore falling into the hands of predators that call themselves 'men of God'

Na wah for pastors

Fear WOMEN.......more reason why I have been careful dealing with them ...at work and anywhere.

The village name sef wan be like Kerewa..


Naso woman dey scam man since 1800BC they're now going to court if man start going to court case go plenty for court...

Our God is truly merciful. Men just use his name in vain.

Its' them chirstians again....

On a more serious note, why do some christians not practice the tenets of their religon

I see more ladies falling prey to this marriage scam. I see desperation driving them into forcing men to commit to them, I see many of them being disappointed by these men. I see the pastor in question bribing his way out of the police state. I see him freed and back on the streets looking for the next available desperate woman to decieve. This I have seen.

Make pastor marry her na

All these men from the pit of hell, they have been deceiving women with marriage since 1880BC

Good one. How many men will women sue? A lot of promise and fail full everywhere.

Do people really pray for marriage? Like do people actually pray to get married?

That's one of the most useless prayer point or thing to pray for...

Let me know believe only ladies offer such prayers. Any guy who does such should be shot at close range with 50 cal.

I couldn't read the content to the end, the foolishness in it is astonishing.
Is there brain in the lady head?

Pastor and Evangelist....

Ok

She should finish the story .U sow a 1000k seed,he came to Ur house.He ate Ur food,relax and that thing em,em nor happened abi?.These set of THIEVES that see vision of marriage sha

These are the Achans in the house of God.

We really have issues with Nigerian christianity...which is why God is not hearing us and why we have so much sorrow.

I wish she was my sister

The guy didn't marry you and you sued the guy. At this point am thinking he got a divine vision to dump you. Just imagine what she will do when they are legally bound under the Law.

The guy dodge one there.

Two church pastors that I've seen such happen to their respective victims was an assistant pastor, Christ Embassy, Bida, Niger State and The Lord's Chosen, Baruten, Kwara State.

Christianity in Nigeria is purely scam. It's all about the money. 95% of Nigerian pastors can not be trusted with money. No iota of integrity in them.

It pains me to see how these lots continue to embarrass Christians coz Christianity is not just a religion, it's Christ's way of life. People should endeavor to study the Bible and get an understanding of the scripture and stop worshipping these God of men!!!

the man has moved on like keke marwa but on a serious note, what sort of house sells for N500,000?

I love this news.....I love it when evening newspapers get frustrated and act irrationally.....she wasted all her youths sleeping around and now old age is knocking and she wants to settle down with a pastor?..nonsense somebody....the pastor just dodged a bullet......more good news like this one is what we need.

The story says the pastor denied her claims with no details whatsoever which suggests he never took money from the complainant under false pretense and in my opinion could have been the only criminal aspect of the report.

I’m not aware that promising to marry someone and failing to do so afterwards warrants even a civil summon in any court except in a sharia court.

If the story is true, then by natural law, karma will eventually visit the false pastor and the woman should pick up her life and move on.

Women have done worse things to men in the past and life continued.
