The man who killed the Senior Pastor of the Central Assemblies of God\n Church at Tema during a church service, has defended his actions \nalleging that the pastor, Rev. Dr. David Nabegmado, was a false preacher\n engaged in idol worship and human sacrifices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Dr. David Nabegmado was killed by his nephew, Francis Nabegmado, who told journalists after his arrest that his uncle had tried to kill him several times in spiritual battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cMy uncle is worshiping lesser gods. He is not a man of God. He has \nsacrificed all the family people and destroyed everybody\u201d he alleged.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his bizarre and incoherent account dating as far back as 2000, of \nwhat led him to kill his uncle eventually, Francis said he had to \u201chad \nto go and bring these gods to the house to protect the house\u201d because of\n his uncle\u2019s purported actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued the human sacrifice claims saying his uncle \u201csacrificed the church members; two or three in the year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francis also said his uncle\u2019s attempts to kill him involved seeking spiritual help from Benin and Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe gods [after the Burkina Faso trip] told him to find okro with a \nred cock and slice and put at the roads\u2019 end. So when he came back, he \nsent my senior brother who is a pastor Peter Nabegmado and Pastor Daniel\n Nuhu, who is the accomplice, to him and they now went to the village, \nand from there, they started to kill the family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe [Rev. Dr. David Nabegmado] came to me physically with a pistol. He didn\u2019t get me,\u201d Francis also recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Francis, his uncle turned his attention to one Musa from\n Kumbungu in the Northern Region for spiritual help, and he was given \nsome gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe gods are with him now. He chants money from it. It is a pot with\n a tail and an iron bar crossed with it. And that is what I came in \nfor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francis said he had made various attempts at dialogue to bring his uncle to order but to no avail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said this was why \u201ctoday I decided to come with the knife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe family called him to settle the issue. We went to the family three times, and he refused to come, then the rest of the family pulled out themselves, so I went to so many places. I even went in 2015, to Hitz FM to see Black Rasta to resolve this issue but to no avail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, other reports suggests that the suspect, who was living \nwith his Uncle in his official minister\u2019s residence, was engaged in idol\n worship, a situation that forced his Uncle to sack him after several \nwarnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The murder incurred the wrath of some residents who appeared on the verge of lynching Francis<\/a><\/strong> when he was caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos from the scene of the arrest showed the suspect bleeding \nseriously from his head as a policeman tried to calm the angry men \naround, some of whom were striking the suspect with their hands and \nsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to kill him too. We have to also kill him. He has killed a \npastor. He used a knife to stab him [the pastor],\u201d one man is heard \nsaying in audio from the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Dr. David Nabegmado reportedly died few hours after being rushed to a nearby medical facility for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tema Regional Police Command has since begun investigations into the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police found on him a knife, a bottle of alcohol, turpentine and a\n matchbox. According to the suspect, he had wanted to retrieve a \nspiritual pot from his uncle so he could burn the same, but he couldn\u2019t \naccess it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are suggestions the suspect may be mentally unstable although that is yet to be proven or otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
