Church Elder Caught With Wife’s Best Friend in a Sexual Interaction

Richard Phiri, a married church elder, has suffered a scandal.

This comes after Phiri, a Pentecostal church leader in Chipangali, Eastern Province, Zambia, was accused of having a sexual relationship with the wife of his closest friend who is incarcerated.

Reuben Shonga, the senior district pastor of the church, reportedly acknowledged receiving an allegation of adultery involving the church elder but said he had yet to meet with the persons concerned, according to Zambia Observer.

Richard Phiri, of the Madzi-a Tuwa Resettlement Scheme, was found having sex with Patricia Mbewe, a fellow churchgoer and the wife of Patricia Mbewe, whose husband is incarcerated at Chipata’s Namuseche Correctional Facility for an 11-month term.

Phiri was captured at the woman’s home, according to his buddy Wonani Mumba, who also saw the church elder being detained.
