According to the deceased’s wife, Rahab, the gunmen left after ensuring that the pastor was dead.

She said, “When they came in their large number, they kept shooting to scare the entire community and then forced their way into our home. The assailants did not ask for money or anything before shooting him several times.”

Meanwhile, the Christian Reformed Church Nigeria CRC-N has expressed its worry by the new trend where criminals or sponsored assassins turned ministers of the gospel in to easy targets as this is not the first time the body of Christ has suffered such a huge loss.
