Precious Pada, the wife of Pastor Isaac Pada, a pastor with the Deeper Life Bible Church, Lugbe who allegedly disappeared with their 4 children on July 30th, has come out to say she is not missing, She further revealed that she ran away due to spousal abuse being meted out on her by the clergyman.

He claimed they had no issues prior to her disappearance and that he has reported the matter to the Lugbe police station.
Mrs. Pada has however reached out to Lindaikeji Blog to deny her husband’s claims. Speaking through her sister, Maryann Ojih, Mrs. Pada said she fled their matrimonial home after being subjected to years of domestic violence. According to Mrs. Pada, the clergyman is a habitual wife-beater who takes delight in beating her since their marriage was contracted 9 years ago.
According to Mrs. Pada, her clergyman husband beat her up so much in 2017 that she lost a pregnancy.
