TFB News gathered that an eyewitness, anonymously, said a
masked gunman entered the mission house at about 1am on Thursday and went
straight to where the pastor was, and shot him at close range with a
locally-made gun.
According to the eyewitness, the reason for the killing was
unknown because the assailant did not steal anything from him after he shot him
dead.
“The man, who wore a
mask, entered into the mission house in the middle of the night and brought out
a locally-made gun. He shot the pastor dead and did not take anything when he
was going; he just killed him and left,” he said.
The Public Relations Officer of the Ondo State Police
Command, Femi Joseph, said that the command had swung into action and
instigation has commenced.
However, he said that the deceased’s family members were not
cooperating with the police on investigation.
“The family of the
deceased should do well to cooperate with the police. They have not been
assisting us in our investigation; their only concern is for us to release the
corpse to them for burial.
“It will be good if
the family can be feeding us with useful information. We are not magicians; it
is from the information we get that we can have our lead and arrest the
perpetrator. What the family is doing on the matter is not good enough,”he
said.
