Pastor Commits Suicide As Sex Scandal Leaks On Church’s WhatsApp Group
Oscar Mukahanana, a Christian cleric from the United Methodist Church, has reportedly taken his own life after his adultery scandal was exposed on the church’s WhatsApp group.
The Reverend, formerly serving as the Harare East District Superintendent in Zimbabwe, was involved in an extramarital affair with a female youth within the church.
Reports suggest that an audio recording of his private encounter with the woman circulated within the church’s WhatsApp group.
In the leaked audio, the Reverend expressed his intense excitement after meeting the lady, noting a satisfying encounter just before her menstrual cycle.
Following the leak on the church’s WhatsApp group, Mukahanana became a subject of mockery as church members shared the conversation, even creating memes to ridicule the District Superintendent amid the adultery scandal, according to local media.
Feeling deeply humiliated and embarrassed by the scandal, Mukahanana took his own life on Friday, unable to bear the overwhelming shame.
The UMC Harare District, while reacting to the incident said in a statement, “It is with heavy heart to announce to you the untimely death of our Beloveth District Superintendent Rev Oscar Mukahanana of the Harare East District.
“The Office of the Bishop shall be informing the church of developments and funeral arrangements. As a Church, you are being cordially requested to support the Mukahanana family through your prayers.”

‘Gospel Music Has Power To Transform Nigeria’, Pastor Declares
The Senior Pastor of Freedom Life International Christian Center, Richard Tochukwu, has declared that gospel music possesses the spiritual capacity to transform Nigeria, describing it as a divine instrument capable of restoring hope and unity in the nation.

“Gospel music is not just sound; it carries power. When songs are inspired by Scripture, they can heal hearts, restore faith and redirect a nation toward righteousness,” he said.
Pastor Tochukwu made the remarks while discussing his latest worship single, “I Want To Pray,” a spiritually reflective song produced by Audio5.
He explained that the track was created to encourage believers to remain steadfast in prayer and maintain consistent fellowship with God.
The song draws inspiration from Luke 18:1, which urges believers to pray always and not lose heart.
A spiritual son of Paul Enenche, Pastor Tochukwu revealed that most of his songs are birthed from deep study of Scripture.
“Sometimes while studying or preaching from a passage, a melody begins to flow. The lyrics are drawn directly from the Word. Our songs are intentional; they carry the same message we preach,” he explained.
Reflecting on his journey, he recounted beginning as a drummer who also sang before discovering what he described as a divine instruction to minister through music.
“I realised that you don’t minister only through preaching. God made me understand that songs are another channel through which His Word can reach people. Every release is backed by Scripture,” he added.
Pastor Tochukwu currently serves in Lagos, combining pastoral leadership with music ministry.
The audio and video for “I Want To Pray” are now available on major digital streaming platforms.
