A US-based Ghanaian pastor, Sylvester Ofori, has been arrested for shooting his wife, Barbara Tommey, dead in the US.
According to Orlando Police Department Chief, Ofori shot his wife multiple times, outside the Navy Federal Credit Union branch as she arrived for work, and immediately fled the scene. He was later arrested by detectives of the Orlando Police Department.
Before the murder of his wife, Ofori had made some depressing posts on Facebook indicative of a sour love affair with Barbara. In his pinned post he wrote on 22 August, he said: “When you start looking at people’s heart instead of their face, life becomes clear”.
On 24 August, he posted: “I truly believe that every single person has to go through something that absolutely destroys them so that they can figure out who they really are”.
Same day, he also wrote, “snakes don’t hiss anymore. they call you babe, bro. or friend”.
On 28 August, Ofori shared another message: “A tiger’s tongue is so strong that it can remove paint from the wall, and help to remove skin from flesh of its prey, classified as the second most dangerous tongue after the tongue of woman.”
The posts were posted with fearsome images of a tiger and a serpent.
A day before he shot Barbara, he also dropped this weird message: “One thing people gotta understand about extremely kind, nice, loving people, is that their other side is just as extreme.”
Then he struck at the bank to kill Barbara. He shot her seven times.
Report has also emerged that Sylvester Ofori has reportedly been abusing his wife for a long time. Due to the abuse, Barbara was persuaded by her family to leave him. But Sylvester tracked her to her workplace and killed her.
