A Nigerian Pastor, Eso Michael, 55 and wife Oluwafisayo Deborah, 50 were allegedly poisoned by their housemaid.
Family sources say that the incident occurred in Osun State after the pastor and his wife unknowingly ate a meal laced with a poisonous substance by their maid. They both died afterwards.
The sources say that the suspect has been apprehended and confessed to committing the crime.
The family of the couple has fixed the funeral for the 8th of October at their hometown in Imose Ireti Ayo, Ilesa, Osun State.
An obituary announcement called on employers of domestic servants to carry out painstaking researches on prospective workers as the days are evil and many people have lost the fear of God and the milk of human kindness.
The advisory adds that guarantors do not often know the employees throughly and so just sign of their employment forms to fulfil all righteousness.
Mr and Mrs Michael died last week and are survived by 2 children.
