Its simple this is a murder case!! We've got a mad assassin on the loose!! But the real question is why would someone wanna kill the priest??
Re: Priest Mistakenly Shoots Self Dead In Edo by hariorh: 2:36pm On Aug 27, 2013
actually, what happened is that the gun got angry over his cleaning when master should be at the mass. so it just jumped out of master's hand, turns and fires straight at oga.

Exactly how the OP and vandamme news (vanguard) wants us to understand what happened.

The 'accident theory' makes very little sense to me because it leaves us
with more questions than answers. The questions that readily comes to
mind are:

1) Is the priest in the habit of cleaning his gun when it is loaded?
2) Since the gun is loaded, can't we safely assume that the priest
cleaned it the day before?
3) Why would he need to clean the gun that early and at a time that he
is expected to be preparing for mass?

The theory really does not add up. Suicide and homicide make a whole lot
of sense for me, as a preliminary theory. Anyways, since we are yet to
get the facts, we just have to wait and see how this story
unfolds.[/quote] Quite on point.Lets just wait and see how the drama unfolds.

For me, this sounds like a moon light story. Certainly, there is more to that story. Was he cleaning the gun to go and fire his congregation in the 7 o'clock mass? Somebody must answer this question or else...smh.

Multiple gun shots from a double-barrel gun?

Accidental discharge is one shot b/c DB gun is not auto. (semi- or full)

This is murder!

RIP
its nothing but homicide, cleaning gun on Sunday morning, lailai, its not possible, or the gun is part of what he will use for the service?
Re: Priest Mistakenly Shoots Self Dead In Edo by immortalcrown(m): 2:40pm On Aug 27, 2013
Did he want to make the gun a substitute to God's power? Is the gun a blessed one? Was he a hunter?

Re: Priest Mistakenly Shoots Self Dead In Edo by Eneze1(f): 2:43pm On Aug 27, 2013
this appears staged so that people might feel it was an accidental discharge from his gun, police should try and investigate to know which part of his body was hit by the bullet ie. the entry point, if you are shot in some certain parts of the body, it can never be accidental discharge like the back of the head

Re: Priest Mistakenly Shoots Self Dead In Edo by charlesnoble7: 2:56pm On Aug 27, 2013
I'm inclined to believe d priest was murdered.Why would he start cleaning his gun when he has mass to celebrate?Catholic priests normaly prepare their sermons and does some recollections before mass.So,the idea he was cleaning his gun before mass is ruled out.

[b]How was he able to shoot himself with a Double Barrel Gun?!



Okay! here are my questions;

1. What is a Priest doing with a double barrel gun or any other gun sef for that matter?!
2. How did he manage to shoot himself with it?! Most double barrels are long..

Okay!! So its a short version double barrel gun or maybe a sawed-off double barrel gun

3. Assuming it was a sawed-off shortgun, is that illegal to own in Nigeria?!
4. Why was he cleaning his Gun with the Barrel loaded?
5. Why was he cleaning his gun with the 'Hammer' pulled back?!
6. Why was a Priest cleaning his gun in the morning before mass?! Like isnt that strange?


Word of the Gods:: That Priests death sounds like he was murdered. Its very diffucult to shoot ones self with a long gun. Now if he owned the gun, he then would have known not to clean his Gun with it loaded. Secondly, it takes a bit of effort to pull the 'hammer' back on those double-barrel weapons, so how did he not know that the hammer was pulled back and that the gun was loaded.. Assuming he knew this, how did he manage to face the barrel to himself and pull the trigger?! Even if the gun went off accidentally, then it shouldnt have been a fatal shot.. Abi was he accidentally looking down the Barrel of the gun when it went off?!

Its either the Priest was suicidal or he was murdered.. The spirits of the land says murdered..




JUDGEMENT DAY:: Technically, this Priest commited suicide... Does that mean he is going to hell?![/b]
Re: Priest Mistakenly Shoots Self Dead In Edo by hikmoj(m): 2:58pm On Aug 27, 2013
jamace: Wow!!! shocked shocked May his soul rest in peace.

I have many questions to aid investigation of this case:
1. Who knew prior to this time that the Rev has a gun?
2. For how long has owned the gun?
3. Is his gun licensed? I mean does the police know about the gun?
4. Who saw him cleaning the gun that morning? That person has a lot of questions to answer.
5. What type of a rev is he? Gentle, social, outgoing, circle of friends etc.
6. Where did the bullet hit on the Rev's body? Chest, face, arm, leg, back etc.
7. Has he known enemies, may be through preaching against the ills of the government?
8. Was there any known crime/sin which he committed and is bringing his personality and position to disrepute?
9. Was his door locked with key or just jammed when the church elders got to the house on hearing the gunshot?
10. Has he a servant that lives with him or he lives alone?

Answers to above questions could aid investigation and give a clue as to what really happened.

My dad was cleaning his pump action gun circa 2001. Not knowing there was a cartridge left in the chamber. It blew off, hitting the lintel on top of the bathroom door missing my mum and baby sis by the whiskers. It happens.

Let's say it does happen, alright. But why clean on a sunday morning before service? Was it part of what was intended for the sunday sermon?? angry

Vanguard doesn't know the difference between a double barreled shotgun and a rifle.
I haven't heard of a double barreled 'Rifle' before now.
