The story of a 40-year old pastor who beat his two children so brutally with cable, leaving severe marks all over their body continues to elicit widespread condemnation, as the man at the centre of it all has now been arrested in Jos by the officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in collaboration with Social Welfare Department of Jos South Local Government of Plateau State.

The pastor known as Christopher Sule who engaged in this bestial act for at leastof three years is said to be the chaplain in Bima, a private hospital and also claimed to be a Pastor with ECWA Bishara (1) Bukuru and currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Jos ECWA Theological Seminary in Plateau State.

He hails from Wamba Local Government of Nassarawa State and has been handed over to the Nigerian Police Force in Jos.  Saturday Telegraph checks showed that the pastor had regularly beat his two daughters, ages eight and six, as a result of their inability to recite what they were taught in school as well as stealing meat from the pot of soup at home.

The management of the children’s school last week had noticed several lacerations on their bodies as result of the severe beating over a minor issue and the school quickly reported the incident to the NSCDC in Jos South Local Government secretariat and the father was apprehended for interrogation.
