An Eldoret pastor is a troubled man after the wife they have been married for the past 16 years went missing.The pastor's wife has been missing for the past seven days.According to Douglas Mutua, pastor of a Langas church in the outskirts of Eldoret town, his wife left home last Monday following a domestic quarrel.The pastor suspected his wife, with whom they have one child, was having an extramarital affair with another man."We had an argument with the wife over some things I saw on her phone and the explanation she gave wasn't satisfactory. It's after this incident that she left and I've not heard from her up to now as she left her phone behind," Pst Mutua said in Eldoret on Monday with eyes filled with tears."I've spoken to his family in Nairobi and they haven't seen him," he added.The man of God now wants his wife to come back home saying he still loves her."Wherever she is a just want to tell her to come back home as I have forgiven her. I would not ask any questions of where she has been," Mutua said."I still love her and her family needs her at home as well as the church," he added.The matter has been reported to at the Langas Police station who are also helping to trace the missing wife.
