COUPLE FINED FOR FUCKING ON CHURCH ALTAR
A man and woman in Nigeria have been fined for
having sex on the altar of their local church. As reported by
the Daily Metro, Tolu Akintepe, 30, and wife Bunmi, 28, told a
judge they were having church sex as a way of spicing up their
sex life.
They were caught in the act by the pastor of the
small Pentecostal church in Ikeja, a suburb of Lagos. Pastor
Gbenga Akhiomu demanded they pay £100 damages for desecrating
the altar. He also wanted them to clean the altar and pray for
forgiveness.
To courtroom laughter, the couple told Judge
Ifeanyinwa Okenwa that they had been married for four years and
their love life had gone stale. “My wife was always saying she
wanted me to spice up our sex life in an unusual way,” said Mr
Akintepe. "I thought it would be thrilling if we did it in the
church, having the big guy upstairs watching us. I thought it
was a little adventurous. I told my wife, and she loved the
idea.”
Judge Ifeanyinwa Okenwa warned the couple to have
more respect for religious institutions. He ordered them to pay
£100 compensation. The couple volunteered to also clean the
whole church for one week.
