A disturbing video has been making the rounds on social media platforms showing a man, identified as Kelvin Iorfa, a deacon with a church in Benue State, Nigeria, physically assaulting a young lady alleged to be his step-sister.

Following the public outcry, the Benue State Police Command acted promptly and arrested Iorfa. However, his explanation for his violent actions has left many people flabbergasted. Iorfa claimed that he was under a “spiritual attack” at the time and had no recollection of his actions.
