Tears flowed freely as suspected assailants killed a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Bolanle Ibrahim right inside his church, the King of King parish at Maidan village in the Mile 12 area of Lagos state.
The clergyman was praying for mothers and their children when the suspected assailants stormed the church and tried to drag him out.
The distraught wife of the deceased, Mrs. Kudirat Ibrahim said on the fateful day her husband was killed, he was fasting.
She said for the period they courted she never suspected her husband to be a cultist, wondering where people heard that he was a cult member.
“What they are saying about him are blatant lies, my late husband was a man of God and he served him to his death.
“I wasn’t at home on the fateful day of the incident, I went to take care of my sick mother at the hospital. I had no premonition about his death. After the deed was done, nobody called to inform me.
“I never knew my husband had been killed, I was still busy calling him to bring something for me from home, not knowing that he had already been killed, whenever I called him the person who is picking his call kept telling me my husband is preaching, it was later around 7pm that my elder brother came to break the news to me about the gruesome murder of my beloved husband,” the bereaved wife said.
An aunt of the deceased pastor, Mrs. Justina Alebiosu, who confirmed the incident, alleged that it was a clear case of hired assassination.
