Gunmen have killed a pastor, Jacob Wodi Hulobu, with the Living Faith Church, Aloko-Oganenigwu in Dekina LGA of Kogi State.
The pastor was reportedly killed by the gunmen who invaded the town on Sunday.
Huloby reportedly escaped with some of his members to a safer area when the hoodlums struck when the early morning service was going on.
A worshipper, Samuel, said the pastor had gone back to check the state of the church after the attack when the invaders shot and killed him.
“He escaped during church service in the morning. He thought everything was calm and went back to check if the church was touched when he was killed,” said Samuel.
The pastor, who had earlier posted on his Facebook account how he escaped the morning attack, died a few hours later.
Hulobu is said to have organised a crusade programme christened, ‘Let the fire fall: Three Nights of Wanders,’ scheduled to take place between April 13th and 15th in the church before the incident.
The pastor is survived by his wife and a child.
