Another incident of
assassination coming from
Benin city. Members of Christ
Apostolic Church (Mountain of
Blessing), located at 121
Jamila Street, Ikpoba-Hill,
Benin City, have been thrown
into mourning following the
assassination of their zona
pastor, Pastor Philip Afemike by
unknown gunmen. The incident
happened on Friday night when
some armed men walked into
the church premises where the
residence of the pastor is also
located and shot him dead.
According to the sister of the
deceased, Mrs Dennis Dupe,
four gunmen stormed the
premises in the late hours of
Friday night looking for the
pastor whom they later found
where he was sleeping and
shot him dead in the process.
She added that they are yet to
know what led to the
assassination and what he
must have done to warrant it.
Residents said they alerted the
police during the attack on the
pastor which lasted for several
hours, but the police arrived at
the resident, did nothing and
went back to their station to
report that nothing had
happened and the area was
calm. Some other people who
sustained injuries during the
attack were taken to the
hospital for medical attention
while the deceased was
deposited in the mortuary.
Below are photos from the
scene of the incident.
