He said, “The issue is a robbery because they entered the house at night and maybe they attempted to rob him.
“Unfortunately, from the way he was shot in the back, maybe he was trying to escape, which is natural and normal, and he was shot.”
Abdullahi revealed that Commissioner of Police, Bello Yahaya, visited the hospital where the deceased’s body was taken and assigned a special squad to ensure peace in the area.
He assured that those responsible would be apprehended and held accountable under the law.
A local resident, Ahmadu, recalled that the incident took place early on Sunday morning.
He mentioned that the gunmen gained access to the pastor’s home through a compound housing civil defense personnel.
He stated, “They first visited the ECWA Church in the community before proceeding to a nearby compound where they stole some money.
“They didn’t come for the pastor but we learnt he was shot when he peeped on hearing the sound outside. He was shot in the back.”
