A pastor overseeing the second Evangelical Church Winning All, Damakasuwa, in the Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Amako Maraya, was shot and killed by some unidentified attackers.
The gunmen also took the clergyman’s wife hostage.
The gunmen broke into the neighbourhood on Friday night about 11 p.m., according to a resident and church elder named Mr. Ishaku Chinge, who verified the story to reporters on Saturday.
He recalled that approximately three months prior, despite the fact that the clergyman’s son was hurt, the gunmen had attempted to kidnap him and were thwarted with the community’s assistance.
“Yesterday again, they stormed his house, gunned him down and kidnapped his wife.
“The gunmen had earlier called in the morning, demanding N3 million ransom from the family. They have not called again,” Chinge stated.
According to him, there has been tension in the community since the incident occurred.
He added, “We are calling on security agencies and the government to help rescue the widow who is traumatised at the moment.”
The acting Police Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan, according to a national daily, did not respond to the text message sent to him as of the time of filing this report.
