A Nigerian pastor has been caught attempting to get intimate with a pregnant, married church member, leading to widespread outrage and heated discussions online.
According to a report shared on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) by user @PH_Socials, the shocking incident occurred when the pastor was discovered already on top of the woman, suggesting that the act was in progress when they were caught.
Footage captured at the scene shows the pastor being harshly confronted and physically assaulted by people who discovered the act. The video reveals a chaotic scene where the pastor was dragged out and beaten, while others could be heard shouting and expressing their anger at the betrayal and immorality demonstrated by a supposed man of God.
The video, which has since gone viral, sparked intense reactions across social media platforms. Many users expressed disappointment and disgust over the pastor’s actions, criticizing him for exploiting his position of trust and spiritual leadership to engage in an affair with a married, pregnant member of his congregation.
Some commentators also questioned why the woman involved was not equally criticized or punished, arguing that both parties should be held accountable for their actions. Others, however, condemned the act of mob justice, urging that proper legal and disciplinary measures be followed instead of public humiliation and violence.

@Nkaynora09: “Pastor did not rape oooo. Pastor is having an affair which has been going on for months if not years… and they are exposing him to that? I thought they said men are polygamous in nature.. ei pain una as na una wife… but you same married men are sleeping with many people girl.”
@subanainc: “Why will you allow another man to beat you cos you’re caught having consensual sex? Unless it’s rape, theft or murder I don’t think any man should allow anybody to beat him for stuffs.”
@milady456: “I weak for the way dem dey drag the man. The woman wey know say she be person wife and no allow her kpekus receive air why dem no drag her like that the way dem drag the man. E fit be say her husband no dey do am well so she try pastor base on say she been don hear testimonies.”
@TUnuagba: “This is just rubbish. Why are they not dragging the married woman? Was she raped? Was she hypnotized? That’s why jungle justice is not to be supported in any form because it is highly biased.”
@SaneBukas: “But was it a Rape Case? How come no one is beating the woman? How come they’re only beating the Pastor? Didn’t both of them agree before doing it?”
@Mazichukwudere: “Justice well served: ‘Jeremiah 48:10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.’”
