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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat they are saying about him are blatant lies, my late husband was a man of God and he served him to his death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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.\u201dthe bereaved wife said<\/p>\n<p>An aunt of the deceased pastor, Mrs. Justina Alebiosu, who confirmed the incident, alleged that it was a clear case of hired assassination.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Even before they killed him, they showed him his picture to identify if he was actually the right person they came for. His death was an unfortunate one. We have lost a gentleman. It was true we were born as Muslims, but we converted to Christianity. My thinking is that my brother had business transaction with someone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told when the assailants wanted to drag him out of the pulpit where he was praying for women who brought their children for dedication, he begged them to kill him there and that was where he was eventually killed by the gunmen. The assailants also threatened to shoot any of the members of the church who dare come close to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still have an aged mother, and his wife just gave birth, his children are still young. I am appealing to the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu to release his remains for us to bury, presently we are all down morally, because of his sudden death.\u201dthe sister said<\/p>\n<p>The bereaved aged mother of the clergyman, Mrs. Agnes Ogunowo who spoke on the sad incident, said she bid her son farewell before he left for church on the day he was killed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a member of Catholic, but he attends Redeemed Christian Church of God and he was the assistant pastor of the Church, I still don\u2019t understand why they killed my son. He was an easy-going person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son has a new baby we are yet to take to church for dedication, now my son is no more. I want to appeal to the police to get involved in my son\u2019s death, arrest and prosecute them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want God to expose those behind it, I cannot bear his death.\u201dthe distraught mum said.<\/p>\n<p>Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Muyiwa Adejobi said a man was attacked during church service. The assailants went for him in the church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are investigating the case because we have a clue into the killing. We will unravel the case&#8221; Adejobi was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suspected assassins have killed a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Bolanle Ibrahim inside his church, the King of King parish at Maidan village in the Mile 12 area of Lagos state.
