LAGOS— Unknown gunmen, Monday,
shot dead Lagos State Coordinator of
The Lord’s Chosen Charis-matic
Revival Ministries, Pastor
Chukwuemeka Okpokpo, at Apple
Junction, Amuwo Odofin area of the
state.
The gunmen, said to have used a
motorcycle, reportedly trailed the
deceased from a Diamond Bank
branch, where he had gone to
withdraw N3 million for the church.
They reportedly fired shots into the air,
which sent other road users and
passers-by scampering for safety.
Reports said Pastor Okpokpo tried to
escape when it became obvious that
he was the target.
He reportedly slowed down on
reaching a bad spot in the road, and
the hoodlums shot at the tyres of the
Chosen vehicle he was driving,
bringing the vehicle to an abrupt halt.

One of the gunmen then alighted from
their motorbike, walked to the vehicle
and shot Pastor Okpokpo in the
stomach.
He was said to have waited to ensure
that Okpokpo was no longer breathing
before he took the nylon bag
containing the money, went back to his
two colleagues in the motorbike and
they zoomed off.
Fear-stricken residents were said to
have rushed to the scene and raised
alarm on discovering that the victim
was wearing the Lord’s Chosen
reflective jacket.
Some of them were said to have
alerted members of the church, who
rushed him to the church’s clinic at
Ijesha.
When news of the tragedy filtered in,
those who knew him wept
uncontrollably, dispelling the report as
rumour, while some said he was still in
Ogun State, where he had gone to
organise a crusade.
Resurrection prayers
A prayer session aimed at resurrecting
him reportedly held between 12.30p.m.
and 8p.m.
Some of the church members were,
however, of the view that the gunmen
could have been hired assassins and
not robbers.
We’re investigating —POLICE
Meanwhile, Lagos State Police
Command said it had begun
investigation into the killing. The
command said it was too early to say
if it was a case of robbery or
assassination.
A police source, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, told Vanguard :
“We are leaving all avenues open in
our investigation.”
Church members thronged Okpokpo’s
Iju home to commiserate with his
family.
The family members hinted that
Okpokpo’s body had been taken to his
home town in Amizi, Ikwuano Local
Government Area of Umuahia of Abia
State.

Nigeria is highly unsecured!!

He was said to have waited to ensure that Okpokpo was no longer breathing before he took the nylon bag containing the money, went back to his two colleagues in the motorbike and they zoomed off

Did they have to kill him before stealing the money?

Why kill a man because of ordinary 3million. They shld av taken the money and allow the man live. Too bad

RIP man. May God rest ur soul
