Okpe of Fresh Oil Ministry on Facebook has been
confirmed dead by the Police in Benin City, Edo
State. Mrs Yvonne Omoarebokhae, was found
dead in a hotel in Benoni, GRA in Benin after she
met with the pastor.
According to her husband, Odion, his wife
met Pastor Okpe on Facebook and after several
months of chatting, the man of God invited his
wife to perform at his programme which was to
be held in Benin, Warri and Asaba. He confirmed
that he knew about his wife chatting with the
Pastor and the arrangements to meet at the
said hotel.
He said his wife left for Warri on Thursday to
perform at the program, and on Friday morning
at about 10 am, she called to let him know that
she would be home soon.
He said that at about 9:30p.m. on Friday, the
police called him using his late wife's phone and
asked him to report at Airport Road police
station in Benin.
He said:
"I did not hear from her again until at
about 9:30 pm, when the police used my
wife’s phone to call and invited me to
report at the Airport Road police station,
where I waited for more than two hours
at the police station until the police
asked me to go home, but I insisted on
knowing the whereabouts of my wife.
“The DPO later told me that my wife was
picked at a hotel in the GRA and rushed
to the Benin Central Hospital where she
was confirmed dead. “I am yet to see the
corpse of my wife to know want happen
and who is responsible for her death. We
have a son that will be three-year old by
June 25,”
The Edo State police commissioner, Chris Ezike,
confirmed the death of the woman, adding that
the pastor has been arrested and that the death
is under investigation.

married. Not until a post mortem is
conducted, we cannot conclude what
happened. I have asked the matter to be
transferred to the State CID.”
