Three remanded for ‘killing’ clergyman

A High Court in Jos, Plateau State on Monday ordered that two men and a woman who allegedly poisoned and killed a pastor, be remanded in a correctional centre.

The police charged Princess Yakubu, John Terna and Jeremiah Gwande with criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, and culpable homicide.

Justice S.P Gang ordered that the defendants be remanded after they pleaded not guilty to the crime.

Police prosecutor S.O. Emmanuel, alleged that they committed the crime when they all conspired to poison their pastor, Pastor Andrew Ekuas, of Christ Assembly Church Risau, and stole his car, N400,000 and other belongings. He stated that after carrying out the act,  the second accused took his ATM cards and withdrew N400,000.
