The pastor was said to have been apprehended and murdered by the irate youths who buried him in a shallow grave while trying to escape to a village in Nasarawa State.
A person who pleaded anonymity chipped that the Suspect rather than run to the Daudu Divisional Police Officer, decided to run away out of fear.
“Sadly, it was while he was running away in his car that the youths who apparently were on his trail, caught him and killed him in a village along Lafia road”.
