Ghanaian-Born Pastor Arrested in Florida for Shotting His Wife Dead
Police in the US are holding a 35-year-old Ghanaian pastor for fatally shooting his wife in Orlando, Florida.
Sylvester Ofori is said to have shot dead his 27-year-old wife, Barbra Tommey outside her workplace at the Navy Federal Credit Union, Orlando branch on Tuesday, September 8th, according to a police report.
According to Wftv.com, Barbra was shot in the morning of September 8th but it was not established whether she was entering or leaving her workplace. When officers arrived, they found Barbra suffering from several gunshot wounds and was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
“You can tell that she is trying to get inside. Unfortunately, he shoots her outside of the establishment,” a police spokesman said.
Ofori was arrested at the couple’s home following the shooting incident that was captured on security footage. A search warrant was issued for the apartment where the pastor was living. The motive of the shooting remains unclear.
Ofori, who is currently being held at the Orange County Jail without bond, has been charged with first-degree murder.
The couple had been going through a divorce and had been separated for about three months, a detective told reporters.

If this is his mugshot, it seems to indicate a black eye and a burst blood vessel in the eye.

His face was clearly rearranged. I did not speculate on who, what, when, or how or try to arrive at any unwarranted conclusions, I merely made an observation.

Perhaps it was rearranged in the process of becoming a "wife" in the county jail.

I am still trying to understand how a person who claims to be a man of God could commit such a heinous crime! I guess humans have imperfections but i believe it is clearly hypocrisy to tell people that this is the way of Godly living yet inside there is a monster waiting to unleash. I guess the main thing is to be true to yourself and look inward to create greatness around you. My condolences to the family of this young lady that lost her life in such a brutal way.

Ndugu RAS menelik: Umesema kweli, wafuasi wa dini hizi bandia za kigeni wana maajabu kweli. Ukitazama watu wote waliohusika, wanaohusika, na watakaohusika na uroho (greed), ufisadi, mauaji, matusi, uongo, tamaa isiyo na mwisho, utaona ya kwamba wote ni wafuasi wa dini za kigeni.

Well i think he is a great pastor as he sent her soul to Heaven. He loved her so much that he did not want her living in a world of Covid n death. Now the man of God has decided to dedicate his whole life in an American Kamiti Prison, preaching the word to prisoners. This man deserves a Noble price. Thats rite i said it to myself as i wrote this.
