A Christ Apostolic Church pastor, Oluwarotimi Akinroyeje,
has been shot dead at the church’s mission house in the Ago Gbooro area of Ore,
in the Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
An
eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said a masked gunman entered the mission
house at about 1am on Thursday and went straight to where the pastor was, and
shot him at close range with a locally-made gun.
“The
man, who wore a mask, entered into the mission house in the middle of the night
and brought out a locally-made gun. He shot the pastor dead and did not take
anything when he was going; he just killed him and left,” he said.
Confirming
the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the Ondo State Police Command,
Femi Joseph, said that the command had commenced investigation into the case.
He,
however, alleged that the deceased’s family members were not cooperating with
the command on investigation, saying they had refused to honour police
invitation.
“It
will be good if the family can be feeding us with useful information. We are
not magicians; it is from the information we get that we can have our lead and
arrest the perpetrator.
“What
the family is doing on the matter is not good enough.”
