In a surprising turn of events, the wife of Pastor Daniel Abah, a resident pastor at Dunamis Welfare Quarters, was quietly laid to rest today after passing away two weeks prior.
According to sources on Benue Facebook, Pastor Abah was instructed by church leadership to keep his wife’s death under wraps, omitting traditional customs such as an obituary or a public mourning period.
Witnesses report that Pastor Abah, in deference to the wishes of the General Overseer (referred to as "Daddy GO"), refrained from publicly mourning his late wife an expectation that, according to church insiders, aligns with specific practices within their denomination.
Although some congregants have privately expressed shock at the enforced silence, Pastor Abah’s social media channels remain conspicuously devoid of any reference to his loss.
In contrast, sources highlighted that Daddy GO himself recently mourned his mother-in-law in a public funeral attended by members dressed in specially-made attire for the occasion.
This apparent discrepancy has sparked conversations among locals, with some wondering about the double standards at play.
As the community reflects on this unusual response to loss, many are extending their condolences quietly, respecting the family’s private grief.
For now, Pastor Abah’s discretion has kept him in good standing with his leadership but questions remain in the community. May the soul of his late wife rest in peace.
