Deacon Who Beat Woman To Stupor Claims He “Was Under A Spell”

Kelvin Iorfa, a deacon of one of the churches in Benue State, has attributed a recent physical assault on a lady to a “spiritual attack.”

Recall that a video went viral recently where Iorfa was seen berating a woman.

The deacon was seen in the video beating the woman who was allegedly his younger sister with a belt. The young woman later passed out as seen in the footage. Widespread criticism of the video resulted in numerous calls for his arrest. Iorfa was then captured by men from the Benue State Police Command.

He reportedly begged for forgiveness after being arrested, claiming that a “spiritual attack” had left him unable to understand what he was doing at that moment.

He said he was “surprised” to see himself beating his younger sister in the viral video.

His arrest was confirmed to DAILY POST on Tuesday morning by Catherine Anene, the public relations officer for the Benue State Police.

She, however, said the deacon is yet to be interrogated.

“Yes, that is true [he has been arrested]. But for the claims about what he said, I haven’t spoken with him. When I speak with him, I will get back to you,” the PPRO said.
