United Methodist Church Pastor Commits Suicide After His Adultery Scandal Leaks On Church’s WhatsApp Group (Watch Video)
Oscar Mukahanana, a Christian minister in the United Methodist Church, is said to have taken his own life after his adultery scandal was revealed on the church’s WhatsApp group.
In Zimbabwe, a female teenager in the church and a cleric serving as a Reverend at the Harare East District Superintendent had an extramarital affair.
There were rumours that the recording of his covert intercourse with the aforementioned woman had been posted on the church’s WhatsApp group.
Following the recording leak on the WhatsApp group, churchgoers began disseminating the audio, subjecting Mukahanana to jeers.
According to local media, individuals went so far as to make memes mocking the District Superintendent over the adultery issue.
Mukahanana who felt humiliated and embarrassed over the matter then committed suicide on Friday when he could not withstand the shame.
