The attack wasn’t discovered until morning when the assailants had disappeared. He was barely alive when help came but gave up the ghost on the way to the hospital.

This has thrown the entire environment into mourning as he was a popular pastor in the Nyanya Jikwoyi axis of Abuja.

The matter has been reported to the police but no clue yet.
